What was she doing for the 4 months she was there?

Visiting friends and family across different regions of the Us. Absolutely no working. She was between jobs and had saved up a lot from before the trip.

So what date was stamped in her passport?

I have to check, but I think it was 6 mos exactly.

The only thing that jumps to my mind is maybe they think she met somebody in the US since she was there for 4 straight months, so she now wants her kid to come to AOS together? I have no idea if she's even single, but it's just one line of thought while we're speculating.

I thought about that. She is single. The travel plans were for her son and son's grandma to go as she submitted in the DS form

They assume she was working in the U.S. And rightly so. A Dominican mother doesn't leave their child in the D.R. while they take a 4 month vacation in the U.S. 

My SIL did, and so have several other Dominicans I've known. Admittedly, the others did come with full intentions to AOS from marriage (!!!!), as directed by. US immigration attorney. 

 

I thought that the long stay would be minor considering that my SIL wouldn't be returning for 5+ years; much more time out than in. Had they given her 2 mos, she would have stayed a shorter time.

Obviously USemb saw something they didn't like about the previous visit, or maybe a flag got raised with son's appl. Very odd, but happens.

 

Couple years ago a guy from a MidEast country wrote about visiting on a B2. Later tried to get the same for wife and kid, but ended up getting his b2 cancelled instead. 

I hoped that when it was clear they (SIL and her son) weren't coming on the same trip they would be fine. I wish specifics were given. The son had a totally clean slate. They did tell her she could reapply without penalty. Maybe in a few years.

If I read this correctly, you'er admitting to know Dominicans who have entered the US on a B2 visa with full intentions to AOS? 

And that too, as directed by US-based immigration attorneys?

How does an unemployed single female from DR get a B to spend 4 months vacationing?

I m thinking the same while reading all the responses. Something is not adding up in the story.

Clearly that’s what the CO thought too.

Unfortunately so, but they aren't relatives. I reported them to the USCIS tipline and even faxed the details to all the airport members listed on the airport website- people who AOS from tourist visas having planned it drive me nuts! - but they did nothing, not even secondary. I only know of one US attorney, who was a friend of one of the boyfriend's families and told them how to do it. 

 

None of the relationships worked out, and all 3 went back to the DR so I guess it worked out.

A 10 year multiple entry visa, too. She's about 40. And now that she has a job she can't leave they take it away? I wouldn't have been surprised had she not gotten one, and I can even see four months being a bit much if it were common but the taking away after more than 2 years of non-use confused me. She applied saying her son was traveling with his grandma (which he would have been, though I suppose they wouldn't know for sure until POE), as she can no longer leave her job.

She may not have violated her status by overstaying, but they made a determination that she either was abusing her visa to live in the US by visiting too often/long, or determined that her intent may have changed.

Edit: Or worse case they determined or discovered that she made a misrepresentation to either the CO or CBP, although I would presume they would tell her if that's the case.

Update: no misrep bc they said no ban or consequences and she can apply again later. (And also she didn't do it). I'm not sure on the first one - they didn't specify or give her a slip.

well i'm from DR and like you know is a taught embassy, i have seen a lot of people with good jobs, incomes, a lot of tie to this country and them have deny it the Visa.

 

I have B2 multiple entry Visa for 10 years, i have been a lot of times on vacation there.. but not more than a month,...

Like one of the guys said, this visitor B2 visa is a privilege and people that work or have a lot of money here in DR.. don't spend more than a month there in USA  (Because U know  good money here is==a lot of hour's work)..

 That is weird for a Dominican mother(over protective with their children) left her 12 years old child for 4 month and  1 month already.... maybe that raised a red flag.... And the though she is trying to  AOS with her family(like u said ppl used to do, because is not allowed anymore  )

 

 My longest stay have been 21 one days... and they just ask me how long and where i will be...i always say the truth... for example in 2016 i travel there like 4 times  and even that wasn't a problem.. because my stay was a reasonable time period for a person that have to come back to continue her/his life(working, family, friends, studies, payments etc etc etc).

 

i hope they can apply in a few years! Good luck to u and your family!

This was a couple of years ago so the child would have been 12.

My sister-in-law came to visit from the Dominican Republic for one week in June 2015, then for four months November 2015 - March 2016. 

She hasn't been back since, but today when she applied for her 14 year old son to visit on B2 for one month this summer (while she stays in the DR working), they cancelled her visa and said she had stayed too long. I checked the I-94 - she left well within the 6 month time. I know they can cancel for any reason, even an undisclosed one, but why would they cancel her B2? What did we miss?

Simple. Before she was traveling as a tourist leaving her son in her country, the embassy and border control assume she will go back to her son.

Now she applied for her son tourist visa saying he will travel without her but the embassy assumes if both, she and her son have visa, they can travel both and no return.

Of course 4 months her last stay is also telling them maybe she was working or looking for a job and then get her son visa and come back together.
