  • Requirements of out of the US stay for reentry on visitor's visa?

    Dear experts I have this questions regarding visitors visa. My in-laws are currently in the US since July 2013. They are granted approximate 6 months of stay as per their I-94. So their return is planned for January 2014. Now my questions is if they want to come back to the US again in March or April 2014 is this violating any visitor's visa laws. Or will it count as exploitation of this visa category by any means ? I am told by some people that they need to stay out of the US for at least the same amount of time they spent in the US. I know for sure that there is no such law but has anyone seen any issues while entering the US due to this ? You replies are greatly appreciated. If you have real experiences please do mention that.

    You are right, there is no such law, but the intent of a visitor visa is only to visit. It shouldn't appear to the immigration officers that it is being used to stay for long time in US. In order to avoid such doubts in the minds of Immigration officers, it is advisable to stay out of US for at least the same time as one stays in US on a B2 visa. Further, frequent visits are also not advisable. Even if one is admitted multiple times, when the time comes for visa renewal they see ones travel history and if they feel it was misused they may deny the renewal.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
