doesn't it say on the visa you got what it is (i.e. single or multiple entry)?

like is it all for 2 years ?? or maybe there is spacial cases for middle east people ?? Depends on the annotations and details on your tourist visa. If it saya M on the entries part. It means you can come to the US multiple times. Expiry will determine how long the visa is valid. Every entry the immigration pffice will grant up to 6 months maximum length of stay.

Hope this helps!

well ... i didn't get the visa yet so i cant know anything yet

thats why i am afraid ... i want to know what u guys think ...

is it going to be for duration of 2 years ... which that mean i can stay in usa for 6 month ??

or maybe they will give me 1 month visa because i put in application that i will stay only 1 month in usa ??

i mean if i got the Tourist Visas is it sure 100% that i can stay for 6 month in usa ?????

There are two main kinds of tourist visa: single entry and ten year multiple entry. If you get the multiple entry one, you can visit the USA many times within the ten years it is valid, for a maximum of 6 months each time, but the border officer may give you less time.

You can TRY to visit the USA for 6 months, travel abroad for a week and then come back, but you probably won't be allowed in (up to the border officer); the tourist visa is to visit, not live in the USA and thus most border officers interpret that as that you have to be outside of the USA for at least as long as you are inside.

It sounds like the OP is wanting to run a small business while being a tourist. Come buy things , take them home, come back again. Then the right visa is a B1 not a B2.

I can't see where you're getting this assumption from.....

Am I missing something???

And you are still as vague as your original post.

In order for somebody to advise or assist you, you need to be more elaborate.

Have you already applied for a visa?

Have you already gotten a visa?

Why are you even asking whether you can come and go so frequently?

Tourist visa's are issued as a 6 month, 1 year, 2 year, 5 year & 10 years. Regardless of the visa issued to you, the Immigration officer at the point of entry will determine your length of stay, which usually is 6 months or 1 year. If you are given a multiple entry visa, you can make multiple trips, but you must have a very genuine and sound reason for such frequent returns. Secondly, you will only get a 2 or 5 year visa if you have a travelling history and or have made frequent trips to the US before.

My first visa was a 6 month single entry. Then it gradually went up to 1 year multiple, then 2 years multiple and finally I got a 10 year multiple over a period of 18 years.

If you intend to stay in the US for more than 1 month, why would you put 1 month in your visa application?

well ... yes i did the interview and my passport right now are with the embassy .... they will give it to me tomorow with the visa on it .... but i cant wait to know what i will get so i can plane what i will do ....

and i don't want to go to usa more than 1 time ... but i want to stay for maybe 5 - 6 month ... i put one month in the application because i thought that i will never get the visa and maybe if i said one month that will help me more to get it ...

[meowmeowmeow 1]

you said in another thread you'd be going for your cousin's wedding.... do you want to be a visitor for 5-6 months? do you have any ulterior motives....finding a nice girl perhaps?

that sounds so presumptuous i know but i had to ask...

So you asked for a Visa for ONE month because you want to stay FIVE or SIX months??

EDIT : After reading this whole thread, I'm not fully convinced we're getting the whole story here. Anyone else feeling the same?

ok ... the story again is ...

i am syrian ... and the us visa is like a dream for me when i am single 23 year old syrian ... but i tryed to get it ...

and they did give it to me .... i will take my passport from the embassy after 24 hour

but ,... i write in the application i want to stay 1 month in usa ... i thought that would help and give me more chances to get the visa

but i want to stay more than 1 month

so ... i am afraid that they will give me 1 month visa

so i am asking if there is such a thing or not ...
