If you're spending that much time in the US, especially if you're spending more time in the US than out, you could face more questioning from immigration as to whether you are a genuine visitor. You should be prepared to prove your intentions to return home on time and that you aren't doing anything like working illegally in the US in case you are questioned. | |

| May 16, 2017 at 23:02 | comment | added | phoog | @xuq01 "for an extended stay": B visas allow longer stays, with the default period of initial admission being six months, and a possibility to apply for an extension. The VWP only allows stays of up to 90 days, with no option to extend. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 21:47 | comment | added | Augustine of Hippo | Why not just apply for the new ESTA when you're about to come and the current visa has expired? With the current situation in the USA it is not advisable to travel here on ambiguous premise. You don't have to complicate things. | |
