In Reply to: mom visiting USA - Pls need your advice posted by Lena on June 06, 2002 at 17:26:35:
: Dear all, I would appreciate any information. I want my mom to come visit me in August and to stay with me more than one month. This will be her second visit. On American Embassy in Ukraine site it says that they can issue your a 6 months non-immigrant visa, but it appears that while she has to go via customs, INS can give her only 30 days stay permission, unless she can justify that she needs to stay longer.
: My guestion is: are anybody's relatives were visiting America recently and did they receive any limitations when they were passing American customs.
: Thank you very very much
: Lena
Dear Lena,
My mom went thru US customs in February'02 without them putting any limitations on her duration of stay. I don't know if regulations have changed since then, hopefully not. Good luck to you and your mom. If it is your mom's second time she should be able to get a multiple entry visa. Vicky
