[claude007]

I just got my B2 visa for 10 year,
and in the entry it is written M
is it mean multiple entry?
I mean, i can go anytime I like and spend as much as i like in usa ? or there is time limite

yes . M= multiple entry.

How much you can stay on each trip is granted at US airport by officers.
Max they can give on each B2 entry is 6 months but they can give less too.
There is no hard and fast rule about interval between two visits,but
broadly, your visits should not be so frequent that the officers think you are staying more
in US than your home country. If they see you are spending, for example 8 months in a year in US,
they have all the powers to cancel your visa and send you back.

To add to Peace's response...

Immigration staff will sometimes allow up to a full year for the B2 visit, or as little as one month, depending on their assessment of entrant's needs and sincerity.

A couple of years ago I was seeing evidence that Chinese (mainland China processed at Guanzhou) entrants were routinely given 1-year stays.

Also, a 93-year-old mother (from Europe) of one of my clients was easily allowed a full year after a compelling request from her daughter at the airport.
