Is it a tourist (B2) visa? if so, I believe she can stay up to 6 months.

PASTED FROM FAQ , US EMBASSY MANILA:
For how long is a tourist visa valid?
B-1/B-2 visas issued to Philippine citizens are generally for multiple entries and valid for 5 years, unless the consular officer feels there is cause to issue a more limited duration visa. Other classes of visas typically have shorter durations. The length of validity for other nationalities varies.
How long can I stay in the United States?
The period of one’s stay is determined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer at the U.S. Port of Entry, not by the consular officer who issues the visa. USCIS generally grants permission for the visitor to remain in the United States for the amount of time needed to accomplish the purpose of the visit. If one wishes to remain beyond the time granted, s/he must submit a request for extension to the USCIS. Failure to do so could result in his/her being ineligible to enter the United States again.

As posted, the length of time allowed is determined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer at the U.S. Port of Entry. Generally visitors are given 6 months, but it is not a hard and fast rule.

MAXIMUM STAY IS 6 MONTHS
BUT THAT TOO WILL BE DECIDED BY THE OFFICER AT THE PORT OF ENTRY .

Most of the time it is 6 months but you can apply for an extension and pay a certain amount per month. I have seen someone file for an extension and was able to stay for a year. But again, this is a case by case basis.

6 months at a time. My in-laws just got theirs. Good luck.

Anybody can file for a Visitors Visa.
Except of course US Citizens. And
Details will be on the web site of your UK Consulate, look for B2 Visa.

Getting it is another issue.
