My in-laws are arriving this week from India on a 10-year multiple-entry visa. This is their second visit, their first was 2 years back. I am currently pregnant and am expecting in December. At the port of entry, should my in-laws not mention my pregnancy at all and use tourism as the reason for the second visit? I've heard that they might not get a 6 month I-94 stamping if they give pregnancy and baby care as the reason for their visit. Is this true?

Thanks!

there is no absolute answer in any immigration books, the basic unsiad rule people go with to not to mentioned the pregnancy as a reason, tourist visa is for tour/visit purpose so better to say that they are visiting "to spend some quality time and visit places".
