parents got B2 multiple entry visa by saying that they will come together, and then

[nomad]

My in-laws got 10 year B2 multiple entry visa recently. They were planning to come together, but due to some unavoidable circumstances father-in-law has to stay back, and only mother-in-law would be able to come rightnow. since this is their first visit to US, and also they have mentioned on DS-156 that they will come together, is there any problem if mother-in-law comes alone ?

in other words, once parents got B2 multiple entry visa by saying that they will come together, and then later decided to come alone, is there a problem ?

Appreciate your help.

thanks

No Problem. My brother's family got visa same time but my sister in law only visited us a few months back with her daughter. There were no issues.

I don't think ther ewill be any problem. My dad did hat first time. My mon had to stay back. Though they got the visa for only 3 months that time. Second time they got for 10 years ME.

Dont think this will cause any issues.Situation changes, at the time of interview it is quite possible they were thinking of travelling together but due some issues they could not but this does not mean they will be denied entry. If they are able to answer the immigration to satifascation they will be given entry for a max duartion of six months .
Point is DS 156 is for visa stamping ,remember getting a visa does not neccessarily grant you entry into the country.The entry will totally be dependent on the inspection done at the airport by immigrations.But in majority of the case if you have a valid visa and answer the immgrations satisfactorily u are granted entry

No issues my parents had to do the same last before year
my mom came alone 2 years back. and both of them again came back previous year.

Once they have a 10 year visa they can come and go as they please with or without anyone.

There should not be a problem. Usually immigration officer don't ask but even if they ask you can justify with your problem. People will have different problems which cannot be avoided.
