Visitor visa

[kedar]

Hi,

My mother has visitor visa for 10 yr multiple entry. The stamping is expiring soon. Can she go to a nearby country like Canada / Bahama and get a new stamping while coming back? Will it affect her future stamping?

OR she has to go to India and come back?

Rgds,

A small correction. Stamping is valid for 10 year. I-94 is expiring soon.

Interesting question, though it sounds logical but may not help becuse of this fact every one start doing it and no one elaves the country on time.
For B1/B2 visa officer are POE has rights to deny entry or may not give longer length on the I94, the better and safe option is to go back to home country and may come back in few months. OR apply for a extension while in USA itself.
