I used to live and work in the US on an H-1. I moved to India for a couple of years and my H-1 expired. I have now found a job in New York with an India based company and they are ok with me working there on a B1/B2 and will apply for an H1 in Apr 2008.
While my B1/B2 allows 10 years multiple entry what is the maximum stay allowed in one go? Is it 1 month or 3 months or 6 months? If I tell the immigration officer I need to stay for 5 months will it look fishy?
Also lets say I get a stamp for 6 months. Then can I need to leave in 6 months - is there a minimum advisable period before which re-enter?
