Visiting US after 4.5 months

[anikrish]

Hi,

My parents visited us last summer (returned to India mid of September) and planning to visit us again by end of January (that is after 4.5 months) as we are expecting a baby.

There previous visits are as below
2005/2006 - 6 months (at my brother's place - west coast)
2010/2011 - 10 months (at my brother's place - west coast. 4 months extension was approved by USCIS)
2012 - 3 months (at my place - east coast - from mid of June to mid of September)

Will they face any issues in POE? What kind of questions will be asked by the immigration officer? How should they answer?

Please help

Regards,

Yes, they could.
As 10 months stay during the last visit was long
and 4.5 months is not long enough a period between two visits.
It depends on the officer. If lenient, he may let them go without
any comments. A strict officer may warn them for staying too long
and give them a short stay.

When asked about purpose of visit and duration of stay;
Should not mention pregnancy unless asked specifically.
And should not ask for a stay period of full 6 months.
