Parents visa got approved for 6 months in mumbai consulate

Be careful, if your father stated to the consular officer that he wanted to stay 1 month. and its found out at the POE that he wanted to stay longer at the time of his application. he could be refused for filing a fraudulent visa application and be returned home with a 5 year bar.

Also it seems he has a 6 month visa,thats for the time he can enter the U.S. not for his length of stay.if he also has a 1 stamped on the visa for entries allowed. he is allowed only once entry and basically in trial mode to see if he does what he says.

They will look at his length of stay closely before issuing him a multiple entry visa for the next visits.
