Re: US Immigration with dual canadian/uk
That does seem to make sense since in the late 1960s, I went back to the US from Switzerland for training for 8 months and my British wife accompanied me. However at that time, everything was much easier and I don't think she applied for a visa and we just hopped on a plane and we stayed in the US for those 8 months. We even stored my car and furniture and ended the rental agreement before we left Switzerland.

Re: US Immigration with dual canadian/uk
Elsewhere in these forums there was a discussion of the Louis Theroux BBC2 series on Los Angeles. He may very well be a dual US/UK national inasmuch as he has an American father but his permanent home is in London. If so, his location to Los Angeles to do that documentary would be an example where a B-2 for family member[s] of an AmCit would be appropriate without immigrating.

A friend of mine with a practice in "The Industry" related to me that she represented a fairly prominent "power couple" one of whom was an AmCit and the other a UK citizen. For tax reasons, the UK half of the couple would come to the US on either a B-1/B-2 or the appropriate non-immigrant work visa and avoid every accumulating 180 days presence in a year in the US.
