When I entered on my B-1/B-2 visa, I was admitted for six months. I am going to be taking a short trip to Canada and then come back to the U.S. Will I be granted an additional six months when I come back in?

Answer

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the port of entry has the discretion to readmit a B-1/B-2 visitor for an additional 6 months. In many cases, however, the person is readmitted only for the remaining validity of the I-94 issued prior to the trip to Canada. (09.Oct.2019)
