Hi,
Your sister cannot accompany your parents, unfortunately. The following link from our website explains the family sponsorship categories: www.h1b1.com/sponsor.htm

I agree with my colleague and would like to add that your parents may be able to sponsor their daughter once they enter the US as lawful permanent residents, but you as petitioner would have to act quickly to petition for your parents since your sister is close to "aging out" of that category. Please seek the advice of a qualified immigration attorney.
