Question on Reentering

[dinky742]

Hi, I entered the US July 2005 on a B1/B2 multiple entry visa and was given 6 months on my I-94 card so it expires Jan. 2006. I left the US early Sept. 2005 but I plan to go back November 2005. My question is upon my reentering the US again in November, will there be a problem in my getting another 6 months on my I-94? Or will they give me just until Jan. 2006 because my previous I-94 stated that and they will follow that? Thanks in advance!

You will get new I-94 with new date. However, duration will be determined by the officer.

If you try to spend too much of your time in US, they may catch you eventually and send you back from the airport itself.

Thanks. Actually we plan to just stay 2 months (from late November to late-January 2006). But on my previous I-94 I was given until Jan. 8, 2006. I just thought that they might follow that I-94 and not a new one.

When you get out of US and come back again, you get new date in new I-94 and it has nothing to do with old I-94 date.

I was just a little worried because it would be only 2 months since I left the U. S. and then I will be back again. Thanks Immihelp!

There should not be any problem in your case.
