    What does 6 months per year mean?

    Hello all, I have heard often that when a person gets a B2 visa even for 10 years, they are permitted at the most 6 months. Does this mean: 1. 6 mths per visit? 2. 6 mths total stay per calendar year? 3. 6 mths total stay in the trailing 12 months? Or does it mean something else? Thanks.
