Did your Parents or In-laws enter USA on/after April 1st 2002?????????????

Please share your experience; did they get 1-month stay or 6-month stay @ POE???
Thanks.

My In-laws are applying for B2 VISA in May at Chennai India US Consulate and plan to travel to US in June. I am concerned that some POE is only allowing 1-month stay (I-94) even though the VISA is for 6 months. Any Newyork/Newark POE exp?

"One-month stay" was just a "thought" by the INS commissioner.

Not true!

This may be thought at INS, but it is either not true or not implemented. My In-laws arrived 5 weeks mack with the usual 6 month date and I know people whoa rrived last week who got 6 months. Don\'t worry.

viraus,

[viraus]

Only 6 Months

Not for a year; only 6 Months. They asked for how long do you plan to stay. since my mother said 6 Months off hand, they stamped the I94 for 6 months.
Where did you get the 1 year figure?????

30 days visa .... Check out ...

"While INS Inspectors will make every effort to determine a fair and reasonable time period, the burden of proof rests with the alien. "

Notified

INS notified today that it comes into effect after 30 days wait period for objections, if any. Even if you get a visa for 6 months, Immi Off can give you one month limit only at port of entry. Or he may give 6 months as well. But if visa is for one month he can not change it.
