My father who is a u.s. citizen got married in jordan 2 years ago.His wife recently recieved a temp visa and they came to the u.s. in october of 2009 for a month then went back to jordan.
1) How long can she stay outside the u.s before she looses her temporary visa?
2) are there exceptions?
3)If she does need to come back how long must she stay before going back inorder to keep her visa?
Thanks.
