Hello,

I have a question regarding the visa application process for my parents. They are planning to come to visit me in October. I'm a Permanent Resident and my husband is a US Citizen.

They actually already have a 5 year Tourist Visa that won't expired until Jan 12, 2012. They mistakenly thought their visa has expired - their passports have expired and I think they just thought since it's been awhile since they got the US visa that the visa had expired as well. So they started the application process. They submitted the DS-160 form electronically and received the confirmation. This is when my father double check the visa and see that it doesn't expired until Jan 2012. They have not pay the fee and set up the appointment for the interview.

So my question is, should they stop the application process? I'm not sure what to tell them since they have already received the DS-160 confirmation. If they stop the process, will it effect their old visa?

Thank you in advance for any input.
