Has anyone had any issues with relatives coming to visit from China since Trump has been in office?  My wife is concerned that they will be denied entry, they have visited two times, both times staying 5 1/2 months and we were planning to have them come again for a visit this summer.  The first visit was for the birth of their granddaughter and the second was just helping wife, this third trip we were planning to have them here so wife could learn driving.  

 

Just wondering if anyone has had family visit from China and had them turned back this year.  

 

Thanks.

Why would they need to be here so your Wife could learn driving? Are they going to teach her to drive? There are instructors that you can hire to do this.

 

If they are here to watch your daughter while she learns to drive, you can hire a babysitter.

 

Either of these two reasons are immediate grounds for denial of entry. If they say they are entering for anything else, they are lying to immigration, which is a ban able offense.

Assuming they have 10 yr. visas, they will need to be aware of the Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS) - http://candleforlove.com/forums/topic/48452-evus-your-10-yr-visa-is-not-enough/?p=630506

Thanks.

Just ask yourself:

Are they here to enjoy wonder family time and to spend money (travel plans, visit other family in U.S.)?

Will there be any payment received for helping out daughter?

Will they abandon their house/residence in China?

Do they have retirement pension and bank savings so they won't be public charge?

 

However, if they just went back to China and come back again within 3-6 months, there might be more questions to be asked.
