Re: B-2 Admission: Has anyone seen less than 6 months?

My understanding is that 6 months is not just a standard B-2 period, but a minimum period, unless a shorter period is approved by a supervisor. It is in this sense it can be called "standard".

Re: B-2 Admission: Has anyone seen less than 6 months?

Re: B-2 Admission: Has anyone seen less than 6 months?

So, if they want to give you a shorter term, they write "B-1" on I-94, even when the purpose of the visit should warrant B-2. This is understandable, because for B-1 the admission time is totally up...

Re: conference visa

Well, B-1/B-2 may be a dual visa (the visitor's visa is indeed stamped as B-1/B-2) however, being admitted as a B-1 and being admitted as a B-2 is not the same thing. The most obvious difference is...
