My dad had a 3-month tourist visa when he went to Dubai. He only stayed there for 2 months. 

 

I assumed that they thought of that, but after my citizenship is done, I am planning to get my parents over here but will go through consular processing in the Philippines. So even if my dad got approved with tourist visa I was not planning to "adjust his status" over here as I need him to be in the Philippines to process things together with my mom. But of course COs always think of the worse which is understandable.

Thanks for the reply. 

 

I’m getting paranoid coz my parents’ interview is next week. Keeping our 🤞🏼.

Thanks. 

 

I’ll post it later. We were so excited planning the trip last night. 🤣

 

My only worry then was I thought the CO will tell them to wait for me to file an immigrant petition (I read in one of the posts here in VJ that it’s a possible scenario) because I have been here for 4 years already (I qualify to file for Citizenship in Oct). But thankfully it wasn’t a problem pala.

Questions asked by American consul:

2.  What’s the purpose of your visit?

3.  Is your daughter married?

4.  How long has your daughter been in the US?

5.  What’s your middle name for your single status? (This pertains to my mom’s maiden name.)

My parents were interviewed together. 

No additional documents needed.

They only brought their passports and DS160 confirmation sheets and that’s it... Visas Approved ! 👍🏼
