We petitioned my in-laws and after 6-8 months or so they were finally approved. Since my wife couldn't get time off from work and their English skills and foreign travel experience were either limited or non existent, I went to the Philippines to bring the in-laws back to the US with me. We entered at Chicago's O'Hare and split into two lines at Immigration - one for US citizens and one for non-citizens. The non-citizen line was very, very long so I prepared myself for a lengthy wait. As I presented my passport, the officer asked the reason for my travel. When I replied that my in-laws were accompanying me, he told me to get them and he'd simply process us all together. He held up my line while I went to get them out of theirs and after a very few questions, he accompanied us all the way through the process, much to the dismay of the US citizens next in line. I want to say I very much appreciated the help and the kindness of the Immigration official who went far out of his way to make entry easy for us!
