@Allaboutwaiting, this is what I was trying to explain to you about the policy for B validity/duration of stay and reciprocity.

Well that say validity, not duration of stay.

“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.”

Not for every country.

Based on CBP officer's discretion not a specific policy, which is exactly what I said in my initial post.    The length of both the visa and stay are defined case by case, not per country.

Definitely health insurance/travel insurance.  They're generally bundled together for a trip like this, and fairly cost effective.  I don't think anyone should come on a visit to the US without health

Right.   And a one time entry on a 3 month visa is not likely to get the “maximum 6 months” duration.

I am not sure I see the connection.

my mom is flying from the Philippines next Wednesday. She is staying here in the US for 2 months. She got approved with Tourist Visa. I already posted here before if she needed anything else to show or prove to the Philippine Embassy and US officials that we are supporting her trip. She has work but no money in the bank but $200. I wonder if the CBP will ask for show money as she will be flying by herself. She is 62 years old too and barely speak English. I wonder if somebody can help her out on the fly and airport on what to do. Who should I talk to to help her make her flight easy.
