Tourist visa for parents while waiting for a fiancé visa - country Colombia

Please help me, I need advice! ❤️I am currently in the process of obtaining a K-1 visa, and I will most likely receive it sometime around mid- to late 2027. My plan is to enter the U.S., get married to my fiancé within the required 90 days, and then have a larger wedding/family celebration later.

I would really like my parents to be able to visit me in the U.S. for that celebration. They do not necessarily need to be present for the courthouse/legal wedding, since I understand that I will need to get married shortly after entering the U.S. on the K-1.

My parents previously applied for a B1/B2 tourist visa and were denied. I believe one of the possible weaknesses in their application was that they had very little/no international travel history at the time.

They have significant ties to my country , including property and other financial/family ties, and they would only intend to visit the U.S. temporarily and return.

My question is: When would be the best time for them to apply again? And what I would put on their DS-160

Would it be better for them to apply:

  1. ⁠Before I travel to the U.S. on my K-1, while I am still in the immigration process?

  2. ⁠After I enter the U.S. but before I get married?

  3. ⁠After I get married and am waiting for adjustment of status?

  4. ⁠Or should they wait until my adjustment of status is approved?
