My fiancee had her B2 Tourist visa revoked last year when entering the US from Mexico. She did not incur any 3, 5, or 10 year bans and was allowed to withdrawal her application to enter and return to Mexico. We now know that the frequency with which she was coming and going to and from the US raised suspicion that eventually led the border officers to revoke the visa.

She always left by the time it said to on the I-94 so she never overstayed. I was just thinking, when they give you an I-94 form when you enter the country and it gives you 6 months, is that per visit or per year? I just want to make sure that it wouldn't be considered an overstay to have stayed more than 180 days in a year, but not in a single visit.

6 months per visit, but if she was here frequently, then they suspect that she lives and works here.

6 months is enough time for tourism, but if she's here more than her country, then they suspect that she lives here. if she comes back and forth too soon, how can she work in her own country?

6 months per visit, but in any case never more than 6 months per year, as 180 days per year is when a visitor becomes a resident for tax purposes.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
