after the covid crisis subsides, I want to visit the US as a tourist for medical purposes starting with a consultation with a couple of doctors. I will visit on B2 visa and am not eligible for any visa free entry. I have visited the US before as a tourist and have a valid B2 visa.
in my previous visits I have always got the 6 month stamp each time but it is not guaranteed apparently. if I tell the officer I am visiting for a consultation and she stamps me just 1 month, does that mean I have no option but to leave after the doctor consultation? Is there a way I can prolong my stay if I want to get treatment during the same visit? I would want at least 3-4 months if I get the treatment done.
I would like to keep my medical details private if possible. I am worried the officer or airport staff (during transit) asks me personal questions loudly with a queue of people standing behind me :|
any advice would be appreciated. This feel quite daunting.
