dsidhu Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 Hello My question is regarding my mother's visitor's visa... SCENARIO: She has 10 years visitor visa, when she came to the US she got 6 months stay initially, at the end of her stay she went to Canada to re enter the USA, while re entering the visa officer granted her another 6 months stay BUT verbally told her that she should leave in 2 months. I checked her I 94 online and did not see any notes from the immigration regarding leaving, and her I 94 is valid for another 4 months.... My question is: Can She live here for couple more months or has to leave ?
JoeF Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 A visitor can never live here. A visitor lives abroad and visits the US. A visitor living here would be a violation of the visitor visa terms. That officer was really nice. Usually, the rule is to only get the original remainder time. A note may be in her file, so it is best to leave in 2 months, otherwise, she may run into issues in later visits. Staying in the US as visitor for one year is already going to raise red flags.
pagladeewana Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 You are lucky that she was allowed in . Normally they dont allow more than 6 months stay in a year
