For the record, there is no determined validity for a tourist visa, it's at the CO's discretion to grant it for 3 months, 1 year,  10 years max. But there is no minimum. My first visitor visa was for 1 year. 
 

Thank you now I know . Thank you

Sorry for the confusing ... that’s why I’m trying help here. My J1 visa finished May 15 th 2017 I applied for B2 visa on April for six moths till November 15th and I left USA November 13th so I was in my country November 14th. And the letter came November 22 but they made mistake and they put wrong date - valid 11/22/2017 till 11/23/2017 😓 

Well have you got any confirmation from them that it was a mistake? Did you check your I94 online to see what it said?

No I didn’t even the USCIS didn’t say anything but I have my 3 friends and it’s happed the same to them they they put wrong date. Of course I checked my I-94 but doesn’t say anything what will help me. Just date type and location of my arrivals and departures, nothing else.

Days Overstayed - N/A

Days left to leave the country- N/A

Says- your traveler status is not available at this time. If you have not received results, you are not among the eligible travelers for the traveler compliance check st this time ... don’t understand .

Ok it certainly looks like a mistake but you can’t just assume it’s a mistake because it’s not what you asked for. These things are not automatic. And 3 friends who also had mistakes for the same thing, really? That’s quite a statistic for  uscis errors. Did you all understand when you applied that uscis was not necessarily going to give you what you asked for?

 

anyway all you can do if you want another B2 is apply, with the info you have. Bear in mind that there is certainly a risk you are denied if (1) you can’t prove it was a mistake or they determine (they will see on their system) that it actually wasn’t a mistake or (2) they decide your ties to where you are living now are too weak to grant you a visa, which is entirely possible given that you’ve only been back 6 months after 2.5 years in the US and you already want to go back again.

I really can't work out what happened with the extension, might be a good idea to pass it by a Lawyer or post it on here with the personal information deleted.

I tried called to the USCIS but unfortunately nobody ever helped me  why I get the visa just for a day  yes my friends has problem with the same one of them get visa for 2 months and other for one instead of 6 months but they stayed in USA and they get married so they doesnt need it figure it out those stuff. I don’t wanna apply for B2 but I thought I have too, I wanna just travel to visit my friends on August for 2 weeks I’ll have all the letters ready etc. so I just wanted found out what’s going on  cause I don’t understand anything. Thank you

You see, that’s my point. Your friends’ stays are very clearly decisions and not mistakes.  Again, you don’t just get what you asked for and you guys didn’t seem to understand that. Now, yours looks like a mistake for one day, but you can’t just assume that. You need to make sure. If you apply for an ESTA and say you didn’t overstay because you assume uscis made a mistake, but you did actually overstay, you will find that your misrepresentation may make future travel to the US very unlikely again because your ESTA would be refused and a B2 almost certainly would be too after that.

 

(also the confusion earlier in the thread about visa vs status seems odd when your notice states in very big letters that it’s not a visa or to be used in place of one.)

Begs the question where theses dates came from and/or why they were used.

 

Seems that VWP is out as it stands. So a B is the only option.
