Questions on Multiple entries

[Blank_1 1]

My friend arrives in 2 weeks for his first visit to the USA. He has a 10 year Multi-Entry visa. He is 60 yrs old and owns a home and a business in his home country if this is relevant.

He has an adult daughter who is a USC and several other cousins/aunts/uncles living here who he wants to visit. He also wants to visit numerous places while here, Vegas, NYC, San Francisco and we were going to try to fit in a cruise but he doesn't feel comfortable leaving his business in the hands of others for too long and we have decided to do it on his next trip.

I realize that each individual case is different but my question is: He plans to stay for 7 or 8 weeks, return home for a month or so and then return for the cruise. Would you expect any problems on the second entry?

How long is the cruise for? He should be fine as long as he can show the itinerary for the 2nd trip

We have not booked yet. I am researching now. Probably going to do a 7 or 10 day. I also have to be aware of any necessary visas to the countries the ship stops at!

It sure is nice being a USC, I have traveled all over the world without giving much thought at all to Visa's except for just a couple of countries!

It should be ok but you did not include what country your friend is from.

If he is back within one month of the first departure, he might have some hard time and prob would be taken for secondry inspection.

What country is he from?

I really wouldn't expect any problems, especially if he has a cruise itinerary on hand.

Should be fine, as the two trips together aren't even close to the 6 months usually given on a tourist visa.
