Thanks for your response Bhooman and sorry to hear tha you still have not heard anything about your parents sponsorship. 
Immigration is just so confusing and time consuming, isnt it. I am unable to make any plans right now as i am waiting for my Visa. I am unable to make a descion if i have to quit my work (have to give 4 weeks notice) right now.
Anyway, as you say i will email the embassy and check.
good luck with your case
