Hi guys,
My wife and I are touring the US and Canada on B2 visas.
We will have been in the US for 6 months in May and intend to go into Canada for about 4 months before re-entering the US.
Our problem could be that in June we would like to do a 7 days cruise to Alaska. On the shore trips we would be entering the US again - do they do passport checks etc and would they let us in as it would only be a month or so since we exited the US.
Also if they did, would that initiate the next 6 month visa visit meaning that if we spent 4 months in Canada we would only have 2 months in the US before the visa ran out?
It seems very confusing and problematic as I know it depend upon the individual border guard who assesses you.
Any help would be much appreciated.
