US B1/B2 visa, renewed when entering country?
I have a B1/B2 visa valid from 15 July 2015 to 15 March 2016. The way I've understood it from the embassy personnel, is that when I enter the country with this visa I'm allowed to stay for 6 months. However, if I for example go home (to the EU) over Christmas and then return to the US before 15 March, will I start a new 6 month period? Intuition tells me this can't be the case... But it'd be useful if it was true.
