Fiancee's parents with B2 visas travelling with K1 fiancee at POE

[pete2718 1]

Looking for general experience/advice. My fiancee's parents are planning on travelling to the US with her and her daughter when they enter on their K1/K2 visas. Her parents already have 10-year multiple-entry B2 visas from a trip to the US a couple years ago, and will stay for a few months to attend our wedding and help my fiancee and her daughter settle in. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this type of situation, specifically having family members on a B2 visa enter the US at the same time as K1/K2 visa beneficiaries. If so, would you mind sharing how the experience went, and any suggestions you may have to help the POE process go smoothly?

Not sure wgat yiu mean by "made the POE process go smoothly". It's something only the CBP officer has control over. It is what it is. Fiancée and child will hand over their sealed envelopes and passports. They will be finger-printed, photographed, maybe a question or two or some small talk (all depends on the officer's mood), passports stamped and that's it. Parents will do exactly what they did when they came here before.

 

POE is very uneventful. Fiancee and child may be sent to secondary for passport stamping and envelope checking - depends on the airport and how busy it is that day.

Thank you for the feedback. It would have been more accurate for me to have said "avoid problems at POE" rather than "make it go more smoothly". My primary concern is that the CBP officer may think her parents intend to stay indefinitely since they are travelling with their daughter and grand-daughter who are on K1/K2 visas. Perhaps I'm worrying too much and the normal evidence of strong ties to home country and proof of intent to return will be fine (of course, the CBP officer is the one that determines if there is enough evidence...).
