You've just applied!! No, it's way to early + it is quite inappropriate to request the visa office for any early decisions.

In fact, there's no emergency travel situation for your parents. That's why the visa office will not consider any request for expedited decisions at least until the estimated processing time has passed.

IRCC always recommends applying well ahead of the intended travel date and to consider any other exigencies where the passport would be required for other purposes.

How have your parents applied? Online or paper submissions?

There is no expedited processing. Either withdraw now and hope to get the passports back in time or wait for the app to be processed and hope to get the passports back in time.

Does anybody get the visa before the quoted processing time ? Does it happen ?

Rarely.

Your parents can send Case Specific Enquiries/ IRCC web forms + emails to the relevant visa office to request that their passports are returned for the US visa interview. Do include evidence.

Your parents must specifically mention they are not withdrawing/cancelling their TRV applications.... and they will return the passports whenever the visa office requests.

In case, they decide to withdraw their TRV applications like canuck_in_uk has suggested then you can also request for the visa fees to be refunded (processing has most probably not started and the visa fees can be refunded)
