How long can someone stay in the US with a visitor visa?|174560

I_m wondering how long someone can, at a maximum, stay in the US as a visitor (non-student, non-working visa). Also, how frequently can they do this? Can they visit for their maximum time, go home, and then come right back and do it again?

You know the ONE piece of information that is absolutely essential here? Yup, the NATIONALITY of the person in question. A Canadian can spend 6 months in any one year period in the U.S. without a visa. If he is in the states for 3 months, leaves and returns in a day or two, that is fine. If the person is from the UK. or other visa waiver country, he can come for 90 days at a time, must return home and may come for another 90 days, up to 180 days n a year. There is no specified waiting time between trips. If a person has a b2 tourist visa, he may come to the U.S. multiple times during the 5 or 10 year duration of the visa, just must convince the immigration officer that he can support himself , and will return home ..there is no specified time between visits....People from Canada and visa waiver countries have the best chances of not being turned away.

When you arrive, you will be asked the purpose of your visit and your intended length of stay. If it all seems right and plausible to the officer, you will be given permission to stay for that period, or whatever period the officer deems appropriate. You must leave by the stated time. You could then return again, but the point is that it is a big deal in one_s life to come and go, and costly of course, so people do not take this lightly.

If you come in on holiday and say so, and you look like a two-week tourist, that will ring true to the immigration officer, who will grant you that time. If, on the other hand, you are trying to come in and stay on, and you want six months, but you don_t look as if you have the means, they will question you with care and might give you less.

It is all up to the immigration officer they stand in front of at the immigration line at the airport. They can decide to let you stay anywhere from 2 weeks up to 6 months. They will stamp your passport and that is your proof of legal stay here. If you get out of the country within whatever time frame they gave you then you can keep coming back as many times as you wish

Is there overnight parking at the Greyhound Bus Station?|166446

I am driving from Texas and have family from Michigan coming and meeting in Chicago for the weekend. Our hotel is downtown but neither of us want to drive down there or pay the outrageous parking. They are taking the bus from MI to Chicago so i was thinking of just parking at the bus station and all us taking CTA to our hotel. So is there overnight parking at the bus station or near it that is not $30-$45/night?

there are private concession parking lots all over teh city of Chcago but none that are run and operated by the Greyhound bus lines....You can expect to pay bewteen 30-45 for a 24hr period if you plan on parking downtown and you must check before you leave your car. Not all of these allow for overnight parking at any fee. So be sure that the one you place your car in , is one that allows for it...There are plenty of both types to be had...But it isnot cheap of course.......with a little luck your hotel is within walking distance...what is thename of the hotel
