Wife U.S. Citizen, is B2 the correct VISA for commuting to the U.S?

[matti]

I have spend a day online but can't wrap my head around which kind of VISA I should apply for, and/or green card. Hoping somebody could help out.

My wife has dual Swedish/U.S. citizenship from birth, she has never lived in the states but has now got a job offer in the U.S. and is planning to move. I myself have Swedish citizenship. We are part of the VISA Waiver program.

We have just completed a 3 year contract in Hong Kong, she lived there permanently while I got a "dependent VISA" so I could freely travel in and out of the country.

These last 3 years I've spend every other month in Sweden and Hong Kong, 4-6 weeks in each location. I have a business in Sweden which is not established on the U.S. market, I am not planning to seek employment in the U.S. or do any work for U.S. companies, nor am I going to seek any social benefits etc. in the U.S. since this is already provided in Sweden where I work and pay taxes.

Basically I am looking for the correct non-immigrant VISA type for me where I don't have to renounce my Swedish citizenship but can spend time with my wife and travel into the country maybe 5-6 times a year a month at a time. From what I've read it feels like I should travel on a B2 VISA but I don't want to end up in a situation where after a year or two somebody suddely accuses me of doing "VISA runs" because I am going back and forth to my home country.

Any input would be much appreciated. :-)

you can just use the visa waiver to visit your wife.that allows you up to 90 days. You will need a B2 visitor visa only if you want to spend more than 90 days at one time.


But, visiting 6 times a yr, a strict officer may at some point think you are visiting US too frequently and may warn you one time and turn you back the next time.

To avoid this, the other way is to get a green card thru your wife. But that requires actually living in US and paying taxes . Just visiting US
a few times won't do.

There is no other way.
I think keeping your US visits on your visa waiver to max 3 per year, you will be fine.
