I believe that you have to be 21 and also be able to financially sponsor them, meaning having an income 125% times the poverty level for the size of family that they'd give you. That is, if it's just the three of you, 125% the poverty level for a family of three.
There is NO protection from deportation if they're caught while you're filing for them. ICE might cut them a break, but they'd still be here illegally and would be deportable. |

If they return to their old country and start the paperwork, having a child (or any member of the immediate family) who is a citizen of the U.S. should speed the process significantly. |

As a US citizen you can submit an immigrant visa petition (form I-130)
for each of them. Upon approval the petitions would have to be sent
to a US consulate outside the US where they would have to apply for the visas.
Since they entered unlawfully, they are ineligible to change status
in the US. You must be age 21 to file the petitions.Due to their
illegal status they may be inadmissible without a waiver being granted. |

Once you turn 21 you can petition them. They will leave the US to return to their country of origin. They will be banned from the US for 10 years. After the 10 years you can petition for them again. |

They have no options. There is no way to make a person legal that has been here illegally. Their status cannot be changed from here. They have to return to their home country and you would petition for them from there. Since they were here so long illegally,they will face a 10 year ban on returning. You cannot petition for them until you are 21 and have enough money to support them. |
