Good Question.. IF the sister/brother gets married or have children in/out of marriage the if the case is at the USCIS then you would call them and update the case... IF at the NVC state then you would call themup and notifiy then and they would send you the necessary form to request such information.. processing time still the same.

Thanks Ricardo

The other question

If someone already has a 10 year tourist visa, does filing a petition for them put their B1/B2 visa in Jeoapordy, where the immigration officer might want to know if their intent is to migrate.

Have traveled a few times to the US with the visa, so don't want to put that in jeapordy.

If your brother and sister get married and have kids together, you have a real problem not only in regard to incest, but also in regard to possible mental retardation of the offspring.

The first problem, however, occurs if they age out of the petition, meaning they turn 21. Since I don't know their age at this time, it's anybody's guess if this will happen.

The B1/B2 will not be invalidated, and in theory any immigrant petition should have no adverse effect at all. That said, every time a tourist enters the U.S., it's at the CBP agent's discretion to allow them to enter, or determine the duration of their stay by issuing an I-94 accordingly. You just never know what's going to happen, just like in real life.

LOL, let me clear that up

IF brother OR sister gets married in the future.

THen the 2nd question was regarding, after petitioning would either of them have hard time at POE using their current 10year B1/B2 Tourist visa.

No. my grandmother petitioned for my mom 7 years ago and she have since traveled to the usa every year since then and have never been questioned. Most cbp or whatever those immigration officers are called usually don't go clicking through computer screens to search the data base.

I f it should ever come about at the border then strong ties to one's home country would quickly eliminate any doubts.
