My wife’s cousin is currently visiting USA from South America on a visitor visa. She has been here several times before for short vacations and has always left on time. I am aware that a person can stay up to 6 months on a visitor’s visa.
- She told the officers at the immigration window during arrival that she was going to leave in 2 months but her 2nd dose of the Covid vaccine is scheduled for a date which is closer to 3 months from arrival. If she stays for 3 months will that be a problem for future visits?
- If she stays up to 5 months, after stating that she is leaving in 2 months, and wants to return on a J1 visa would it cause problems in obtaining a J1 visa?
- Can she leave now and return after 3 months and stay another 3 months on a visitor visa?
- If she asks for an extension close to the 6 month time frame, and stays here until they give her a response, will that be a problem when she needs to renew her US visa in 2024?
