confuse - stay in USA and Native Country?

[pal786 1]

Hello everyone,

If I have visitor visa of USA and stay in USA for five and half month and then return to native country; then how many days would I have to stay in native country to return USA?

Please share opinion.

There is no specific set amount, but the general rule of thumb is spend at least the same amount of time out of the USA as in, so another 5 and half months out.

the immigration officer at the POE will not give u 6 months entry...he or she will stamp ur passport with either three months or one month depending upon what u tell them

During the inspection, a CBP officer immigration officer at the port-of-entry(POE) after successfully completing your processing, a CBP officer will stamp your passport, signifying that you are permitted for an appropriate duration, e.g., six-month stay (for visitor visa holder) allowed.

Completely incorrect. You don't know what stamp he will get, could very well be for 6 months.

lol! how many times you have entered into the united states on a tourist visa with 6 months stamp?Depending upon the fact that his petition is in process...may be the immigration officer deny an entry at POE...yes its possible to get a 6 months stamp but again it depends upon various circumstances...

Impossible to say, obviously after such a long holiday the more time the better.

What's funny? In the last 12 months I have visited 5 different times on my B2, my stays ranging from 5 days to 4 weeks, and have got a 6 month stamp every single time.

[abhishek1984 5]

Nope

me too! I never received a 6 months stamp even though i have entered united stated more than 10 times(at least one time a year)...I dunno how this guy entered 5 times in 12 months on b2 and the Immigration Officer didn't suspect him or question and always issued him 6 months stamp...

The people I know who visit from China have always gotten 6 months. They can even stay for a couple months, go back for a month, come back, and get 6 months again. 6 months is the overwhelming default and it's rare to get anything less.

I assume that most common scenario for visitors is 90 days, have no evidence to support that mind you.
