If the file was transferred from one USCIS office to another, it's probably due to a redistribution of the workload because the transferring office was too busy to adjudicate all their files.

Having US citizen children does not entitle parents to stay in the US without legal status. The children can petition for the parents when they turn 21 years of age, and the parents may be able to apply for adjustment of status.
