B 1b2 How long can I stay on a US visa?

B 1b2 The maximum stay of a US visa is no more than 183 days.

In most cases (human rights and morality), this upper limit will be given, even if parents come to the United States many times within the validity period of the same visa. In addition, this residence expiration date can theoretically be later than the visa expiration date. For example, parents who arrive in the United States one day before the visa expires can also obtain the right of abode of 183 days. Officials of the US Department of Homeland Security will attach the I-94 entry and exit record card to their parents' passports, which parents must return when they leave the country.
