Question: 10 year visiting visa granted

[Mitu 1]

So, my brother and his wife and their son were granted 10 year visiting visa.

For immigration, I think you have to enter within 6 months of receiving visa. Is that same for visiting? Do they have limited time to enter USA? or can they enter after a year when our little brother gets married?

thank you for your time.

The 10 year period refers to how long they can use it to attempt to ENTER the U.S., so they can use it any time within the next 10 years (until the visa expiration date). The amount of time they will be allowed to stay during any given trip will be determined by the Border Patrol agent upon entry.

You are right, there is no time limit for a B1/B2 to enter the US. they normally get to stay up to 6 months though. they can come tomorrow, a year after or even 5 years.
