| Oct 5, 2020 at 8:02 | comment | added | Montu Soni | @MarkJohnson Hmm...That is reasonable enough. It becomes so confusing for people with Parent/Grandparents who want to obey the rules but when the instructions are hazy, you know. If someone's parents who stayed for 2 years without the 1 year extension, and want to return after 3-6 months later, it remains so unclear whether they should do it or not. It is impractical on the side of the immigration policy setters to not even mention when should one come back, not even any hint, but expect that when they come, it is a totally random decision upon the officer if one return after 3-6 months. | |
| Oct 5, 2020 at 7:50 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @MontuSoni There is no reliable answer to your first question. If any general rule was to be assumed, then it would be: reentry after the duration of the previous visit. (1 year in, 1 year out ; 2 years in, 2 years out etc.) | |
| Oct 5, 2020 at 4:38 | comment | added | Montu Soni | +1 Thank you chx for the insightful answer. I am going to mark it as "accepted" soon, but before that, I have to ask you to answer the first sentence of my question. Your answer is great, but it is missing the "how long before one should reasonably expect to get re-entry" part. I know there is no official information about it, which is why I have approached this forum to ask "what is generally thought to be a reasonable time in the eyes of a typical professional immigration officer, before reentering for a yet another 2 year stay?" Thank you so much once again for your insightful answer. | |
