For the first time, my parents got one-year multiple entry B2. Like many other friends here, I want them to stay with us as long as possible, I'm on H1B.
Has someone already summarized a strategy to do this ?
I've got a few plans but not sure if feasible. Please give your opinion.
1. Parents stay for 6 months then go back China, stay for a few months, then come back before visa expires, get another 6 month.
Advantage: the 2nd 6 months shoud be easy to get , right?
Disadvantage: international trip is long, tiring and high cost, especially for old parents, not living in big cities.
2. Parents stay for 6 months. Just a few days before I-94 expires, drive/or fly to Canada/Maxico, stay for a few days, after I-94 expired, enter USA, hopefully get a new I-94 with new 6 months
Advantage: no long international trip
Disadvantage: is it feasible, has someone tried ?
