if any1 knows. cheers
3 Months as BangBang says. As I found out recently though you can't just leave for a short period and come back and certainly not to the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada. If they think you are trying to take advantage of their rules they will very likely deport you and that is a very big headache. At the very best you will end up in a US immigration holding area for 12+ hours as happened to me and have to go through secondary immigration checks for the rest of your life. I made a very minor digression and they were very close to deporting me and it took 14 hours to sort out and nearly meant I would have been unable to visit my 6 month old daughter. Don't mess with US immigration is the moral of the story!!!
