check the priority date for your country for family 2A also check into possible "follow to join" benefits IF they were "preferfence" immigrants...IF they were Immediate Relayives then follow to join is out of the question.
How close are you to 21? You might end up being 2B instead. IF you get married before immigrating you would lose the opportunity UNLESS the parent naturalizes first then you would move to a different category.
It may be wise for each parent to file an I-130 in case one naturalizes before the other. It used to be that each parent would file in case one died but that is no longer required because of a change to INA 204(l).

How did they get their green cards? Was it through employment? Or your grandparent or uncle or aunt who filed for them? You may be eligible for a derivative green card very soon, depending on how they got theirs.
Are you inside or outside the US? If inside, legally or illegally? When did your parents obtain their green cards? Are you married?
Your answers to these questions will affect your options for a green card.

i am 16 yrs old. ma parents got green card cos ma sis has applied for them as immidiate relative's thnx for all your help n wht is expected waiting time after applying for me?
Your aunt filed a 4th preference petition for her sibling. A sibling can bring their spouse and all unmarried children under 21. (If an unmarried child also has a child, they can come along too.) Since potentially so many can come along on ONE petition, it is a very long wait time and once it comes, they may have to apply for individual visas in piecemeal fashion because it may be too expensive to bring everybody all at once, but it cannot be spaced out for too long or somebody might lose their opportunity to "follow-to-join" for a variety of reasons.

If the petition from LPR the wait period is more for priority date to become current under F2a. It may be about 12 month to 18 month.
Now the wait in F2A is about 4 years.

is thr any other method to get into states by me?
You could try the DV lottery, if your country is eligible. But there are only 50,000 spots per year out of the millions who apply.
