My dad is an electrical engineer with a masters degree, over 15 years of experience in the field to, and is currently employed by chevron (NOT IN THE US) My mom is a nurse, she hasn't been working however for about 4 years now.

Me, 20 years old currently studying in the US, hoping to have one last shot at getting a GC under my parents.

Would we qualify to apply for EB-2 self petition with the NIW? We have tried everything with DV lottery and trying to get an employer sponser, but things are just looking down

Any advice?
 
I guess you need to talk to a lawyer about that. It's a complicated case. Does any of your parents have any special skills in their fields?
I don't want to be negative but I highly doubt you are eligible for NIW.

Wish you the best of luck

This is true but even this, by itself, is not sufficient to qualify him for a NIW (although it is necessary). Not only must his work be in the National Interest, but it must also be shown that it is in the National Interest to waive the usual labor certification process. That is usually the difficult part. If the work itself is in the National Interest--but his role in it could be done more or less equally well by any qualified US worker--then he won't get the NIW.
