Hello,
I have a quick question. I came to USA on Feb 27, 2007 on a B2 visa from India. This is my second visit here. I was here last year and left for India within the stipulated time.
To my pleasant surprise, when I arrived in Charlotte this time, my I-94 has been stamped until August 28, 2008 ( for 18 months!!). My friends have expressed surprise at this, as apparently, the normal length of stay granted for such a Visa category is between 3-6 months, and one of them was wondering if we need to double check with USCIS - if the officer had inadvertently written 2008, instead of 2007 on the I-94.
However, is this even necessary, when I now have a valid I-94 till Aug, 2008. Is this unusual ?? What are your thoughts on this? Please advise. I look forward to your quick response. Thanks.
Warm regards,
