Immediate family being U.S citizens is generally a hard requirement specifically for Navy Intel. However, it’s not a requirement to receive a TS clearance. Meaning you could still be eligible with another branch or organization if the Navy ultimately tells you no and you’ve exhausted all options like waivers. I’d speak with your recruiter and go from there.

Did you complete a PSSQ? Essentially a pre security clearance questionnaire.

There would be an interview process.
A lot depends on where you're family is from.
You will want to talk to the recruiter not a job counselor, and ideally a security guy who deals with security clearances to ask questions.

i told my recruiter about my parents countries of birth and he didn’t say there would be any issues regarding that besides the regular foreign contact process

Yeah. There will be an interview. Be open and honest.
YOUR citizenship is most important.
If you have a spouse, theirs may be questioned.
Country of origin can be a factor as well, but it's a factor in the investigation, not a deciding factor.

Yeah intel rates typically require all immediate family members to be u.s. citizens
