  • frequent visits to usa from canada to visit my parents

    Hi,
    I am living in Canada and I hold canadian work permit. I applied for US visitor visa to visit my parents and younger brother who live in USA.
    I got my visa on 15 August 2012 and I have traveled USA several times to different locations but mostly to Boston to see my family.
    Following is my record of visits to USA

    Departure 2014 May 22 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Arrival 2014 February 10 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Departure 2014 January 05 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Arrival 2013 December 21 YYZ - UNKNOWN
    Departure 2013 December 01
    Arrival 2013 November 30 PBB - PEACE BRIDGE, NY
    Departure 2013 September 29
    Arrival 2013 September 29 DCB - DETROIT, AMBASSADOR BRIDGE
    Departure 2013 September 04 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Arrival 2013 August 29 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Departure 2013 August 26 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Arrival 2013 August 17 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Departure 2013 July 30 ATL - ATLANTA, GA
    Arrival 2013 July 24 YYZ - UNKNOWN
    Departure 2013 May 13 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Arrival 2013 May 09 TOR - TORONTO, ONT. CANADA
    Departure 2012 December 26 BOS - BOSTON, MA
    Arrival 2012 December 10 TOR - TORONTO, ONT. CANADA
    Departure 2012 Augustr 29 RBB - NIAGRA FALLS, RAINBOW BRIDGE
    Arrival 2012 August 18 RBB - NIAGRA FALLS, RAINBOW BRIDGE


    I was able to succesfully visit all the time without any special inquiry or questions. Last time i visited I stayed for 3 months and 12 days. I was given 6 months entry all the time I visited USA.
    I want to know how long should I wait for my next visit to Boston?
    Since my parents are citizen I do not have any I-130 pending and never filed any I-130.
    I would like youe suggestion because I was planning to visit again in August for 2 weeks.

    it is interesting to see you made so many back to back visits in 2013 alone without any issues.
    There is no set interval laid down by law between two visits and it is entirely at the officer's discretion .

    Still, in general, having spent 3 months recently and so many visits in 2013, you should take precaution and not enter
    US for another 4-5 months for a pleasure visit.
    An emergency or a business visit can be an exception.

      I actually travel on visitor visa.
      Since my family has a business there, is it possible that after adding my name to the business, I can travel USA on business visa more often for shorter periods?
      What is the process of converting visit visa to Business visa or it is same for both but you just mention to them that you are going for business purpose.

        you are not allowed to manage your business in US on this visa you have ( B1/B2). If you will add your name to the business, and travel very frequently then
        they can stop you in suspicion that you are working.

        On B1/B2 the only business you can do is meetings or dealings.

        If you have business outside US, then you can look at L1 visa by opening business in US as well. But that requires one year of wait and several conditions.
        Also, if you have green card options go for that instead of a visitor visa to manage your business in US.
