Only US citizens can petition for their immediate family and bring them over in a short time. For LPRs to bring someone over this could take years, the average wait is 10 years! Like someone said, if your parents get their GC and stay out of the US for more than 6 months, the GC will be revoked. A GC is not a tourist visa.
Honestly there might be so little for you to do now, their interview is coming up so very soon. It's such a shame that you applied for them and now you want to withdraw the petition. I don't see how you wanted to "help" your parents in any way.

So you don't want your parents to be able to file for/help your sister? Is her being single and 23 the problem? I'm just getting some weird vibe from you. I hate to say this but I see men in the ME and Muslim countries not very fair to their women. I hope I am very very wrong about this about you (assuming you are a man). And I wish I would say, it is none of my business and stop butting my nose. But (regardless of whether you are a man or woman) if you have issues with your sister because she does not toe your line/ or does not see eye to eye, but her own father is willing to file for her, then you should let HIM deal with her. File for your father. What he does with his daughter, you can wash your hands and have nothing to do with her at that point. But trying to deny your father something because it may subsequently benefit your sister paints a not so good picture of you.

I wonder the results of a poll in Mecca asking if they like Americans.

Just to be clear, USCIS handles "petitions" and Consulates/Embassies handle visa applications and issue. Getting a petition approved compared to obtaining a visa based on that approved petition kind of compares in difficulty to "getting pregnant" compared to "giving birth". Getting pregnant is the easy part. Some births are pretty simple and others are seriously traumatic life threatening events, with others falling anywhere in between. Islamabad is one of the more difficult ones, and even if the process through interview ends up being pretty straight forward, you usually have a long wait before you "bring your baby home".
Time to get familiar with the real world of bringing a spouse or fiancee from Pakistan and prepare yourself for the coming ordeal. It's not just filling out paperwork and waiting for the result.

The requirements for a tourist visa and for a K-1 are entirely different! Tons of people from especially 3rd world countries get denied a tourist visa just because they can't prove enough ties to their countries (not because the OP is hiding a horrible reason God forbid!)
I know a girl on VJ that was denied multiple tourist visas and student visas and was approved on the K-1, totally different visas!
The USCIS is not "required" to give any reasons for the denial, sometimes you just need to guess it! The OP already said the reason for the denial.

There are a million of reasons why the OP could have had the tourist visa denied, not one of them has to be a reason for them to have the K1 to be denied. Why tell someone to worry ahead of time when there is no valid reason to be worried? That's even more absurd. K1 and tourist visas are two complete different things with complete different requirements. You will, for example, have a higher chance to be denied for a tourist visa if your ties with your own country are low and if they know that you have a lover in the US, with the K1 this does not matter at all anymore as having a lover is basically a requirement to get the K1. Besides, you coming from the Philippines should know above everyone else that you will likely get your tourist visa denied if you mention that you want to go to the US to meet the parents of your fiance if you are from a higher risk country and do not have enough ties (and I really think that is what happened here).
You don't need to have some random criminal background, like for some reason you really want the OP to tell us if that is the case (even though the OP says it isn't) to have your tourist visa to be denied. There's a legion of reasons why they do this. As for no reason given to the OP, search on Google and you will see a LOT of people get their visa's denied without any reason given. I'm not saying it is a requirement or not, as I simply do not know, but if you say it is a requirement for the consular office to provide the applicant with a reason, please provide us with an official link where it says that they have to.
Don't try to search for something that might not be there and please don't try to get the OP worried when there most likely is no reason to worry.
Oh, and before I forget, and my apologies for going off-topic: Please try to refrain from using capitals in your sentences when there Is no need for them (like 'Not to Worry' or 'same Department'). I'm not perfect either and I can look past the grammatical and other errors in your posts as I make those myself as well but there really is no reason to use the capitals like you are doing, English is not like German where you need them for correct writing. I'm sorry I had to say it but it just irritated me a lot when reading through your posts in this thread.

I agree came across very rude in this thread.

Seconded.
Can one of the Mods have a word with Tim/Mav? The accusations that the OP is hiding something are frankly, edging towards bullying. And as for the assumptions and incorrect statements that Tim/Mav keeps spouting, that's got to stop. People come here for accurate advice, not ill advised opinions and guess work.

Technically it's the native Americans land! Those are the true ancestors.

Probably mention it to your friend, apologize and have them delete it? I read the links provided by others in your topic.
A sidenote; if it wouldn't be fun for you to wake up to something written in your name by someone else, it probably wouldn't be for your friend either, regardless of your state of mind.

No food in Illinois is anything like Egypt. I just came back from egypt a few hours ago and already I miss mom-in-laws food and hawowshi and Koushary and EVERYTHIING!!!
But the bread at Naf Naf is better then Egypt bread. Naf Naf is expensive but the bread is worth the price.
Take care
Enjoy Naperville it is a nice area.

I think you need to breath and wait. Don't just jump to conclusions as you don't know where he is! Be smooth...ask questions and get him to mail back your stuff first before you just cut him off!

Thank you very much for your answers and support, it really means a lot to me to know that I can get some honest thoughts and great advice from the VJ community. Again Thank you!
At this piont all I can do is Pray, wait, wait and wait patiently.

She is reacting to the "incest" porn specifically. She never watched the vids but only saw the titles and is now starting to wonder why incest porn was so interesting to him and makes her wonder how he is looking at their daughter. Valid concerns given the only evidence she has.

I believe the analogy is sound. Some people are saying that watching porn is "natural human behaviour". This behaviour is inflicting emotional harm on the OP but we're supposed to excuse it because "porn is healthy".

You should buy the movie Fireproof and have him watch it, you as well. Porn is not healthy in any relationship. You should pray for your husband. "People's actions often reflect the atitude of their hearts." pornagraphy is a lustfull addiction. This problem he has can be fixed, but he has to be willing to agree that lust is the opposite of love, and to love you with his full potential means that he has to get rid of all the parasites in his life that is distracting him from you.

There's a difference between HAS looked at porn and IS looking at porn.
I know for 10000% sure that Tony doesn't look at porn. He doesn't go to strip clubs (and wouldn't). I know he DID while he was single. I know he DID while he was in the military. If I found out that even after our discussion on it and our views on the subject that he was watching porn it would rightly p*ss me off.
I don't consider porn healthy for our relationship, neither does my husband. Whether other people do or not is their business. The OP has voiced to her husband her opinion of it and he's dismissing it. Some people are okay with open relationships but if BOTH people aren't it's cheating.

I see you don't really need any advice, so I'll make sure to never try to give advice on any of your future posts. Good luck.

You NEED to be at least financially stable to have and raise a baby. Do you want to live on welfare? If you don't have a good stable job you won't have insurance that covers pregnancy and maternity, also babies need insurance so adding them to your insurance will require you to pay more. Also, if you work to support the fatherless baby, who will watch the baby? Babies cost a lot of money, how will you budget for that + wedding + apartment/furniture. Please keep in mind that babies are not puppies. Please sign up at a pregnancy or motherhood forum and read what they go through financially and emotionally. Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. This world is not IDEAL that's exactly why you need to be financially stable.
I know that you've the best intentions and you really want to be a mom and you love kids, all of those things are beautiful, but please take all our advice into consideration and remember that you won't have that determination every single day. You don't want to deal with pregnancy, child birth and taking care of an infant + job + visa/green card headaches. When my sister in law was pregnant she couldn't get out of bed because of fatigue and nausea.
