| Aug 31, 2020 at 7:03 | comment | added | James Roberts | @phoog Helpful comment. I understand that I will be subject to US taxes and that I wouldn't be allowed to work. Your claim that I may be allowed to stay for 1 year to accompany a student family member gives me relief. I hope I will be allowed. Thank you | |

But staying that long in the US will make you a US tax resident, so you will have to pay US income tax on your pension and other unearned income. But I would leave the question here: extended B-2 visits are in fact the appropriate way for family members to accompany students, temporary workers, and so on, when the family member does not qualify for a derivative visa status. That's why you can be admitted for up to 1 year initially as I mentioned in another comment. | |

| Aug 31, 2020 at 6:00 | comment | added | James Roberts | @phoog I am retired already. I have good savings and there will be enough proof I wouldn't be a burden on the US. | |

| Aug 30, 2020 at 20:33 | comment | added | phoog | You won't be able to work while you're in the US, even for a foreign employer or foreign clients. How will you justify to US authorities that you can afford to stay in the US (and support yourself and a child in graduate school) for that long without earning any money? Do you have investment income? Savings? A spouse who will support you from abroad? | |
