1 Yr. Multiple Entry Visa, what about I-94

[abhishek_mohnot]

I have got a 1 year multiple entry visa. On the DS-156 form i had mentioned period of stay to be 1 month. What period of stay would i be given on the port of entry on I-94. Will it create a problem if I ask the officer at port of entry for a 3 month stay. I am 26, single, running a business, going to visit my brother, How should I convince the officer at port of entry to grant me a longer stay. Lastly, what should be the gap between two entries in a multiple entry visa.
Abhishek.

1) I don't think the officer at the port of entry looks at your DS-156. He might as well give you an I-94 valid for 6 months. If not, you may request him at that moment.

2) You can travel to this country as many times as you want, as frequently as you want within the 1-yr period.
