How long to stay abroad before re-entering US

[gublooo]

Hello Guys,

I have been in US from past years and my mom has been visiting me every year. She stays here for 3 months and goes back. Every time she enters, they give her 6 months to stay on her I-94 but she has never stayed for 6 months. She has left in 3 months max.

Now recently due to reasons I prefer not to mention, there is no one back at home for my mom to stay with. She basically has to stay all by herself when she goes back.

This year again when she visited me - she got 6 months period to stay here. She's planning to stay all 6 months here this time. Now when she goes back - how long she should stay there before coming back to US.

Is there like a safe limit of staying for 3 months or something before the person can come to US again. What i'm afraid of is - if she stays for a 2 months and comes back again and if they dont give her the 6 month stay - then it will be useless.

Any advice will be appreciated
Thanks
Gublooo

Gubloo,
If your mother spends from than 6 months in the US in a 12 month window, she will arouse suspicion at POEs. This does not neccessarily mean that she will get a restricted I-94, but she may invite more questioning about her intentions. Frequent and prolonged stays on a B-2 visa have the potential to risk an admission refusal.

Triple Citizen,
No offense. I am sorry if my message offened you.

But I see a lot of your responses (a few different posts to a few different forum memebers) about the consequence. I am sure, most of us (including me) know the consequence about this su_ky B1/B2 extension. The only reason we post our concerns in this particular forum is asking for help but not inviting a repeated speech about what we are/we will facing.

So, my question is simple... I am in the same boat like Gubloo (a little better becaz my mom didn't push that limit that much and that often)

Do you have any good knowledge (or "how we can deal with it solution" to share)?

Again, I apologize if my message offened you. (I understand you are trying to help. I will recommend if you can help in a more "POSITIVE" ways.

Belacut,
I took no offense to your post. I know myself. I am an overly cautious person who operates well within the confines of any stated rule/regulation, whether that be the street speed limit or an immigration regulation. I cannot unfortunately be more POSITIVE in suggesting a workaround to the given situation. I never "tested the waters" with any USCIS regulation and thus cannot speak from experience. I hope both your mother and gublooo's mother have no issues whatsoever in their travels (and stays) in and outside the US.

Thank you. I am sorry. Probably I am now in an unfavoable situation and my mood is not that good.
In fact, I appreciated for your help and suggestions in the Canada PR forums.

Yes, we all need the luck. Especially when you are dealing with US immigrations. Been in around the world, studing in Canada and Aussie, work in Taiwan and singapore and of course HK (I raise there). But never had a feeling I will not be admitted for entry like in US.

There is no need to apologise. As I said before, I took no offence. I was known during my school and university days as "a very good leaver of deliveries outside the off stump"

Thank you. I am sorry. Probably I am now in an unfavoable situation and my mood is not that good.

You worked in Taiwan? Now that I will take offence to since I am a Sinophile who is thoroughly entrenched in the "One China Policy"
