URGENT -> travel to USA when i-130 is pending (consular processing)
I did file form 130 for my parents recently. can they travel to USA while USCIS is looking at their 130 case? it’s a consular processing.
in past my parents have traveled multiple times to USA, mostly short visits. they have valid 10 year B1-B2 visa. they never had any immigration issues, never over stayed.
do you think they will face any issues at the port of entry or if their pending I 130 will have any adverse effect due to travel?

it’s a risk but I think that ir they can proof that they are visiting and they seem confident that they will be doing the consular process they should be fine
