You cannot bring them on a visitor visa with the intention to apply for adjustment of status - This would be misrepresentation and fraud and is decidedly illegal. This would have terrible consequences for you and your parents with the very real probability of them never being able to set foot in the US ever again. Don't even consider going this route please. Do it the right way, the legal way

That’s what I thought. Thanks for the guidance

Yep, as said consular processing is their only option. How long it will take will depend on the consulate, the first part (I-130 and then applying for the visa via NVC) will take the same amount of time no matter where they are, but after that the wait for an interview varies hugely. It can be as quick as 2 months, or as long as 2 years.
