hi everyone,

ive been wondering this for a while and i could really use your help and advice

i am a k1 visa beneficiary about to start my life in the USA. i will be having a traditional wedding ceremony when im there and i ofcourse want my family to be there.

my family has never been to the US. i want them to apply for a tourist visa.

my questions are as follows:

1) should i have them put my visa details for their DS160 form? or should i leave it blank?

2) on their interview, should i tell my parents to not mention that they will be visiting me? or is it okay to be completely honest about their intentions

3) is there a chance that they will be deported back when they arrive in the US?

4) has there been cases where parents case for tourist visas been denied because the officers think that they will be living permanently in the US?

appreciate any advice you may have.

thanks,

m

My spouse will have the Embassy interview tomorrow in Jakarta, however, we already know he will most likely get administrative processing because his medical is not finished at the assigned hospital, (awaiting results of a sputum test.) We think results are expected at the end of August at which time the hospital submits the final completed medical to the embassy, (that is how it's done in Indonesia.) Question, will the embassy hold the passport pending the medical results and if all ok then approve the visa and send to the delivery address already given to them? or will they return the passport and request a new interview after the results are delivered?

Thanks

Hello, I got a question. My 2 years conditional Greencard will expires on April 2024. Can I travel to outside USA before my Greencard expires, let's say I will be traveling outside US on March 2024 for weeks. I will be still coming back before the expiration date? Thank you

Hello, my PD is Oct 17. 2022 and it still said the case is taking longer time than expected .. at the mean time my B1/B2 visa is about to expired in October 2023

I'd like to renew the B1/B2 visa before it got expired but I was afraid that the embassy going to reject it because my I-130 process and are they going to suspect me with the possibility of overstay ? the last visit to see my Husband was in March 2023 and few times before that too.

With this uncertainty on the timeline now, I kinda feel anxious not to be able to visit when the visa is about to expired too (it is easier for me to visit him vs the otherwise )

Has anyone had the experience of renewing B1/B2 while you were waiting for the I-130 ?

Thanks and God bless !
