Length of stay

[stevedoe]

Hello to everyone,

Recently i got the B2 visitor visa, and in the DS-160 application i wrote that i will stay in United States for 21 days and will go by 20 April.

But now i have changed my plans and want to stay for about 4 months and want go by 08 April.

Will the US Immigration officer will allow me to stay longer than 21 days and will this be a issue that i've will travel erlier?

Thanks in advance

Your length of stay depends on the I-94 dates stamped in your passport at the POE. You can stay up to the dates given. If for example the I-94 dates given were 6 months (the maximum days issued for a B1/B2), you can stay up to 6 months, if 2 months were given, that is your maximum allowable time to stay. However, you do not want to stay beyond the total # of days issued. That will put you out of status. Any time over is considered unlawful presence and can result in a ban from re-entering the U.S. in the future.
