GC for parents-consular processing or adjustment of status?

Hello,

I am a US citizen and have a choice between applying for a green card for my parents while they are abroad(consular processing) or via adjustment of status after they come to the US on a tourist visa. What is the better method? If I go the AOS route, can I get a work permit for them when I concurrently file the I-485 and I-130?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response, Jackolantern...that helps.

It is improper to enter intending to AOS. You have just admitted on a public forum that they have made this determination PRIOR to entry. Consular processing is the proper option.
