I can here as student and OPT expired and haven't left. I want my parents come and visit me here. They dont understand and dont know exact situation. Now they are in process to apply B2 visa. A visa advisor suggested them to get my visa papers and invitation letter. I am in a pickle now. Should I make them apply for a visa without any of my mention, pretending they coming just to visit? If it matters I am from India.

Their visa application will need to include mention of immediate relatives in the US and their status.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

THry would be lying if they didn't mention you. The application very specifically asks if the applicant had any family members in the USA. That means anyone who is related to the marriage who is physically in the country - regardless of how or why they are here and whether they are legally here or not. 

 

But what's happening with your situation? Do you have a legal route to residency or are you going home?

What does working on your status mean?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Great minds think alike.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

You are compounding your problem by continuing to be dishonest.

You have already overstayed and now you want your parents to lie about the purpose of their visit.

Ohh yes.

If I could I'd deport you all. You already lied and now want your parents to lie. Please, go home.

OK I read the DS 160 form. They'll need to tell need to mention about me. By pretending I meant, can they just be tourist without coming to meet someone specifically. I thought this question might come only in supporting documents.

Where and to whom did I lie? I wonder how you are a Gold member in this forum. And even for parents I was asking the best way for them to apply, nobody was lying anywhere.

Thanks for your question. I will post sometime later about my situation, at the moment B2 visa for parents is my priority.

Generally people who are out of status have lied to someone somewhere, I presume that’s what the poster meant, anyway you already admitted you’ve lied to your parents about your actual situation. 

 

To repeat what others have said: it’s going to be almost impossible for your parents to get a visa to visit a child who’s illegally in the US. I’m assuming the reason others asked about your situation is to give you advice, which may differ according  to why you’re out of status. Of course it’s your prerogative not to answer but it’s generally difficult to give meaningful advice with only half the story known.
