Beachey Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 My father-in-law arrived yesterday from China for a three month stay. He speaks no English so it appears his discussion with the Border Officer was limited. This is his third visit and second visit on his present 10 year visa. He had a copy of his itinerary so I would guess the Officer looked at it to see his return flight. (late June) Here is my question while they stamped his passport the officer did not write down how long he was admitted for, he just initialed it. So the question is how long is my father-in-law admitted for? If no date does it mean six months? Is there a way to look it up online? Or some other way? Or am I safe to assume it is six months? Unless something unforeseen happens, he will be leaving in three months but I just want to make sure he does not overstay. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Get a copy of his I-94. https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1694/~/i-94-automation---how-to-print-a-copy-of-your-i-94-form "The visitor must exit the U.S. on or before the departure date stamped on the I-94."

dnoblett Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Typically the set stay is set to 6 months unless they have entered the country several times within a years time. Can get a copy of I-94 record, it will show the date to exit by. https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
