Re-entry on a 10 yr

[VolimTe 0]

A friend of mine is in the US right now on a 10 year tourist visa. He is planning to leave US after being here for 3 MONTHS. How long does he have to wait to re-enter US again?

He should aim to spend no more than 6 months out of every 12 inside the US; approaching this limit may make CBP question whether or not he is a genuine tourist.

Rule of thumb is out for at least as long as you were in but longer the better.

What job offers a 3 month (or longer, apparently) paid vacation?

[Boiler 45,493]

No job

[kehills 217]

Government service, in some countries.

[RhettVoe 282]

No job is the right answer.

University students often have several months available at a stretch. Someone independently wealthy and not in need of a job has the time available. Someone who can telecommute if necessary can afford 3 months away. Please do not try to 'stir the pot' by introducing suppositions not based upon any fact or evidence.

Depending on age. Students/College students & retirees

have plausible excuses for spending 4-5 mths vacations,

also teachers or a rich person during summer-time

A few countries still have extended vacation times in their

Gov service when its been accumulated, however these ppl

also is given written permission from the Gov services to take

that vacation, this permission will allow the CBP to understand

a lengthy stay, otherwise normal working age ppl do not take

multiple vacations per yr for mths. Although its a 10 yr visa

one should spend no more than 6 moths annually, after all how

could they if they have jobs at home. they must be living in the US

is what comes to the minds of immigration
