Folks, Moderators,
Please advise on my situation.
My parents were recently here on their 6 month visit to visit us and our soon-to-be-born son. (arrived Nov22 2009).
They left on May 15 2010 (so its almost been 3 weeks since they left) as per their I-94 validity. Although my mom insisted to extend and spend time with her grandson some more, We did not file any extension notice and tried to keep it simple.
Both are retired, senior citizens and now wish to visit again and spend time with the baby, ASAP.
Question : Is there a time limit to wait before I can arrange their visit again such as to not risk a denial, short stay or get harrased/questioned at POE ?
During this time upon entry, my dad got worked up when the officer kept asking why does he need to spend 6 months with his son, daughter in law (my kid wasn't born then) i.e its such a long time. He replied satisfactorily saying they are seeing us after almost 2 years and wish to spend time, travel.
Question: Can they simply mention that they wish to visit again and spend time with their grandkid, help us out etc. Or should they keep their answers non-personal ?
Question: In worst case scenario can they be denied entry ? If so do I get notified immediately or they are allowed to call my cell phone ? Are they put up in a waiting area etc .etc ? If any ideas.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks,
Sach
