Need Info, Please help...

My parents got visa about 4.5 years ago. My Father was given 10 years Visa while my mom got only 5 years visa (expiring in Sept'2008) . They visited US once after receiving the visa. I want to call them again this summer. If I call them in June . Will they be able to stay here for 6 months?

I am worried if my mom's visa expiration date will be a limiting factor in getting visa for more than 3 months?

I am new to the forum, if there exists some info in the forum, please send me the pointer.

I appreciate any help in this regard.

Shailendra.

Stay allowed in USA, vs. Visa expiry date both are different things, the allowed stay is determine by the I94 given by the officer at POE while they enter to USA. Eben though the expiry of Visa is in Sept, she can still get 6 months stay which can be beyond the expiry of the visa, But it depends on the officer at POE. You may consider getting a fresh Visa for her if don't want to take this kind of risk.
