Strange one: my parents tried to get visitors visa while I was on L visa and were denied (twice - in If it makes a difference), might they get better chances now that I have the green card?

P.S. it's strange for me because they are pretty well off but nothing got checked at the embassy. Reason stated was to see me & the family (2 nephews).

That's surprising. They definitely should reapply. Where are they from and where do they live?

Romanian residents & citizens. Even stranger is the fact that mom was rejected last year and the next person in the queue was a friend applying for the same visa and stating the same intention of visiting me - he was granted the visa.

It’s random unless there are some serious red flags. Just re-apply.
