I am new to the forum and i have question -

I am currently outside of the US,

In total i was 3 times in the us first time it was sept 2008 for 20 days, then in february 2009 for less than 2 months and from november 2010 to may 2011 for almost 6 months.

Now as i understand i have a time limit of 6 months stay per year with B1/B2 now i have a ticket for tommorow to the US and intend to stay there for a month for my uncle's surgeries (cancer).

The question is whether there is an immigration issue with that since it should be 12 months past my last visit or the 6 months stay limit is per entry (of course, i got out of the us in time and never overstayed).

Thanks,

Danny.

No, you won't have a problem, especially not as you are a doctor who will perform cancer surgeries on your uncle or are a nurse who is taking care of him after surgery. Just tell the truth if being asked at he airport and bring documentation if possible.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

There is no 12 months rule. The IO at the POE will look to see if you are visiting or not. If he/she feels that you have been spending too much time in the US as to practically live here, then you got a problem. Based on your past visits and current wish to be with your sick uncle, you shouldn't have any problems being admitted to the US as long as you can show strong ties to your home country.
