Parents GC In process and visiting USA

[chand99 0]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.My sister is a citizen and she applied GC for my parents who are in India.She applied for I-130 in April and it was approved in 2 months.Later they sent the form DS-3032 with my brother-in-law as agent.He now has to fill the form I-864 and is in the process of doing so.Meanwhile my parents would like to visit USA.They'll be coming in December and be staying for 6 mos.

My question is what will happen to the process?I read that there will be a police inquiry.What will happen to that?We do not want to jeopardize the GC process.Is it ok for them to visit USA?Any suggestions/insights/advice welcome.Thanks..

Yes, it is ok for them to visit the US and it won't jeopardize their application. They will simply need to go back to India for their visa interview, that's all.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.I have been reading about this situation and most of them are saying that they will be denied entry becasue of their approved I-130.We have no intention of applying AOS from here.They will go back after staying here for some time.Just wanted to confirm this

Well, it all depends on the POE officers. There are many people who are honest about their visa process and say they just want to spend some time visiting the US before their interviews. A few are denied entry just because the POE official is dead set on no letting them in. But they shouldn't have any problems. Maybe to be on the safe side they can bring a letter from your brother explaining the situation.

I dont know how you can say this. There is a very high chance that they will get denied entry unless they can prove very strong ties to their home country. They have already declaired their intent to immigrate and are likely to be having their interview sometime during the 6 months that they are planning to visit the US for. So unless the have Jobs and property and strong ties in their home country they stand a very high chance for being refused entry and sent on the first plane back to the country they just left at their own expense.

They would be much better to just wait out the next few months and enter with their immigrant visa. they can use the next few months to gather all the evidence they are going to need for their interview at the embassy.
