   Comments: Sir/Madam, I will request you to consider the situation of thoudans of us alien workers whose only chance to be with their family is while they come here to visit, importantly our parents. This law changes the whole equation of taking a trip from so far and makes is un-practicle. I have full faith in you and spirit of this country God Bless America

   Comments: The rule will severely affect all Indian workers in USA who want their loved one's to visit them and stay with them for a couple of months. It adds a financial and emotional burden to an already stressful existence for those workers trying to live the American dream in an alien country. I just wish things were a bit easier and helpful.

    Comments: 1) This will affect law abiding immigrants whose parents come here to visit their children & grand children. 2) These immigrants are kind of foundation stone of this country's success & they have to suffer. 3) Objective is to have a better & intelligent tracking system & I do not see time factor as constraint in that. Thanks

    Comments: Currently, parents visiting the US from foreign country obtain B visa. The 30 day limit on B visa make it inpractical for parents/relatives to visit US from many foreign countries. This group of people and their loved ones in the US do not deserve these punishments.

    Comments: One important fact that has been overlooked on Visitor Visa 30 day validity is..that our parents who come to visit us ......might not be able to communicate properly with the INS officers at port of entry because of language problems...How are then they supposed to convince the officer of the extra length of stay...!!! If they can't properly communicate with the posrt of entry officer in English..they will be limited to 30 days at the discreation of the officer...no matter how importnat it might be for the visitors to obtain an extra length of stay.

    Comments: I think 30 days is unfair for visitors comming from across the globe, specially from India, Australia where the flying time is around 24 Hrs. It's percieved as a once in a lifetime oppurtunity for old aged parents, visting their family in US. When the country is too big and every corner is beautifull and worth making a visit, 30 days is too short.

    Comments: I think they should check background of the sponser and reasons why they are sponsering the visitor to determine duration of stay rather than a 30 day period. Since average Indian family if they have to spend 2,000 - 2,500 dollars for the tickets to stay for a month with their kids they would decide against visiting US as 2000 - 2500 dollars could be annual expenditure to raise a family in most parts of India. If the visit is to assist their daughter/daughter-in-law during pregnancy they would like to be with their daughter/daughter-in-law for atleast six months which is a genuine enough reason to grant visa for 6 months.

    Comments: This rule is not going to stop what the Govt. is expecting i,e. TERRORISM! Well if this rule is implemented the immediate families of the imigrants will get affected apart from the economy which is still struggling to come out of the recession....

    Comments: 30 days for visitor visa is very less for our parents, when we spend so much money on air-fare. At least person over the age of 55 should be given 6 months visitor visa.

    Comments: I think the 30 day period is too short. My mother has been living alone in India since my dad died 4 years back. I would like her to visit me once in a while and stay a few months. For all the effort one goes through for taking such a long trip , 30 days is just too short.

    Comments: It is not fair to reduce the visitors visa period. USA is a wonderful country, 30 days is litterally not enough to visit all the place. It is my humble request to leave the period as it is. Thanks very much, Ravi
