My dad got his bachelor’s in India and it doesn’t transfer over to the states so his degree does not count when he goes to find a job or even in his current job. My mom didn’t get a college degree? So would i count as first generation? And what exactly is first generation because some schools talk about it as first generation in the US but some don’t specify. I just wanna understand it. Thanks!
Usually no.
First Gen refers to whether or not your parents attended college. If your father has a bachelor’s degree from India, you are not first gen.
Here is one exception:

100% with @LoveTheBard , its about attending college, not wether that degree counts in America
