SANDEEPK66 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi, What is the time frame for the visitor visa to stay in India before coming back to USA? My mom stayed in USA(2nd time) for almost 6 months and left India on Jan 19th 2015. We are planning to bring her back to USA on Feb 23 2015. Will there be any obligations if she comes back this soon? What are the conditions for reentry? Thanks for any help. Link to comment
ashuneel Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 she may get reduced stay this time. If they suspect abuse she can be turned back at the airport. Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 She needs to stay at home more than in the US. The rule of thumb is to be at least twice as long abroad than in the US. In this case, she should be at home for at least a year before visiting the US again. If she travels too soon, she risks being denied entry. Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 She may be given some grief by the CBP Officer and she MAY be given a shorter period of stay. Link to comment
SANDEEPK66 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for your replies guys. Do we have any rule or a document that states this information or is it a general assumption based on the trend? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 It is up to the POE CBP Officer. The basis of a tourist visa is for specific purposes. If the POE Officer suspects that she is not using the visa appropriately, he can take appropriate action. Look up the STATE Department website for Bureau of Consular Affairs for information about visas. Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks for your replies guys. Do we have any rule or a document that states this information or is it a general assumption based on the trend? The written rule is that a person applying for entry to the US is assumed to have immigration intent unless the person can convince the officer at the POE otherwise. There is no trend, it has always been the case that applying for entry soon after leaving is considered a sign of immigration intent. As I said above: "The rule of thumb is to be at least twice as long abroad than in the US. In this case, she should be at home for at least a year before visiting the US again." Link to comment
