Note, however, that if your parents would not be eligible to enter into the U.S. with B1/B2 visitor visas while intending to remain in the U.S. through adjusting status to become Permanent Residents, and doing so could present a risk of being deemed to have committed visa fraud with very harsh legal consequences. You and your parents should consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about you, about your parents, about their immigration-related history, etc., could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies and who could offer legal representation in the often quite complex application process.

Hello Anonymous from Georgia,  It would be faster to obtain your spouse's green card if you became a U.S citizen. However, it is important to see if your spouse is able to file for this in the U.S. before you start the process. Some things you would need to ask yourself are 1) Did he/she enter the U.S. lawfully? That is, they were inspected by an Immigration officer at the border, etc., and you should have proof of this. You should consult with an immigration attorney to discuss your specific case in detail especially if your spouse did not enter legally, or has criminal convictions, before you start the process.

Your question is unclear as to whether you wish to extend your stay or your father's. Depending on the facts of your situation, you can file for an extension on his B-1.
