Airline tickets and length of stay.

[tazelle]

Hi,

my family and I (wife and 1 year old son) want to motorhome around the US for 1 year.

Correct me if I'm wrong - I understand that the maximum initial period of stay on a B2 is 6 months. I've also learnt an extension of another 6 months is also possible.

However, if the length of initial stay is decided by the officer at the port of entry, how do you arrive with return tickets if you don't know when the return date may be?

Thanks
Tazelle

Get the return tickets with your expected length of stay. If you can't stay that long, you will have to change the dates for your return journey. There may be some penalties by airlines for changing the date, depending upon the type of ticket you have purchased.
