Hello everyone! I am a permanent resident and i have a question. If i file for a petition for my 2 daughters and i would like them to visit me here in the US as a tourist would that affect their US petition? Thanks!

Here is what I read from Immigration FAQ, US Embassy Manila related to your question.

 

I hope it helps,

Q.17 Can I still qualify for a tourist visa if I have a pending immigrant petition?

Having an immigrant petition on file is not grounds for an automatic refusal for a nonimmigrant visa. The consular officer reviewing your nonimmigrant visa application will require strong evidence that you are not intending to immigrate at this time and that you are returning to the Philippines after your planned and temporary visit to the United States.

Not a good idea. Remember, all tourist visa holders are considered intending immigrants. Howbeit, I am of the strongest conviction that they will be denied.
