frequent B1/B2 entries

[Younes22 0]

I visited the US on a B1/B2 visa from June 2 to June 21, 2024, and again from April 7 to April 23, 2025. I plan to return for a 13-day visit starting August 1, 2025. Will this raise any concerns with CBP officers?

It may.  A question may be raised on how you can afford so much time off of work for multiple weeks in the United States.  What ties to your home country do you have?

 

Good luck

What is the purpose of your visit? It's starting to look like a pattern of frequent visits that could be interpreted as immigration intent.

I have a family, a wife, children, and a permanent job.

A tourist visit before I return to work in September

Be prepared to show your return ticket and answer questions as to why the visit and where u will stay

 

Short visits as u post are allowed on tourist visa

and you have no basis to adjust to stay in the US 

At this point if a parent or sibling petitioned for u ,  it would be lengthy process and u need to make sure of the return to home country

I see no issues, Sounds like you got the money and you got the time.  Most of the CBP cats are cool from what I have seen.

 

Enjoy.

Maybe an unpopular opinion here, but I see no huge red flags. You visited last year for 19 days in June, 16 days a year later, and another 13 days 4 months later in August during the typical summer/holiday/touristic season...

 

Depends on where you are from, but most people in Europe and working have plenty of vacation (in France where I come from, you get up to 11 weeks of paid vacation all included).

 

As long as you have ties in your country (which is the case with your family and job) and can be articulate when asked about it by the CBP officer at the POE, you should be fine. There are way worse red flags than you...

 

Maybe you should hold off on another visit until next year though...

I visited more often, and they are not for long.

In this political climate, no one can give you an accurate answer. If it were me, I would not put my visa in jeopardy, but that's just me. Lately there have been several cases of people being denied entry for far less, then being detained and deported and having their visas permanently revoked. A quick Google search and you'll find them.
