Hi everybody,
I am an Indian relocating from Singapore to US on L1 visa (with promise for GC sponsorship) and have probably a naive question to ask. I would like my parents to be able to stay with me as much as possible. Now I understand that parents can get a GC only if their child is a US citizen, which I believe will take about 10 years or so for me to get. Till then, they have no option but to visit US on a tourist B2 visa, under which the maximum stay duration is of 6 months, extendable by 6 months. My question is how frequent such B2 visa visits can be.
For e.g. , is it considered normal and permissible to combine their visits back to back. Or can they live in US 6 months out of an year and continue this for a couple of years. For people in the forum, who had similiar requirements, wha are you experiences and advice?
Thanks and cheers
