My mom has just received her fist visa at the Embassy of US in Kiev. They gave her a 6 months visa, but told her that she has to come back within 3 month. If she does not come back and stay longer, they told her that she will never be able to get a visa to US again. I have heard that this happened to other people, when they stayed 6 months or a year and then were denied a visa next time they applied.

My mom really wanted to stay a year and help us with our new born baby as I want to be able to go back to work and we don't want to use a baby care facility. So far we have the following plan, for her to come for three months and then go back and apply for a second visa (a 3 year multiple-entry one), so she can come back when she wants and can stay for 6 months.

Has anyone heard of these types of situations or had them? What would you advise? How fast do you think she can reapply for her second visa? And what are the chances of getting a 3 year guest visa right after she gets back from her first visit?

Thanks to anyone who can reply.
