There is no hard limit codified in law, but in practice I'd suggest no longer than six months out of every twelve; any more and it may overcome the presumption that he wishes to immigrate to the US.

There is no time limit, I think partly because it used to be a pretty quick process and they probably never considered it being as screwed up as it currently is.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
