I think you should schedule an appointment with an CIS information officer and discuss the situation. You mention that the I-130 wasn't approved until now, at which time you're already over 21 so I don't think you can be part of that I-130.

So if that's the case you're parents immigrating to the US with a visa won't grant you any status. They can petition for you once they get their visas but that doesn't mean you'll be allowed to stay.

Unfortunately F1 visas and OPT are non-immigrant visas, meant for those not intending to stay.

thanx for replyarcticfox,
u mentioned that consult CIS officer. actually what is a CIS officer and how can i take an appointment with him?

i know that F1 and OPT r non-immigrant visa but i was asking that can i transfer some other status so that i can stay and work in US after my parents enter with US greencard? like i can show that im waiting on my greencard and i dont want to be separated from my family. is that possible?

Check this out to speak with an information officer: https://www.immihelp.com/infopass-ap...nt-with-uscis/

Unfortunately "waiting for a greencard" doesn't grant anyone status. Of course anyone can try to change their status to some other non-immigrant visa (but whether they can find a willing petitioner is a different issue).
