I had 2 years of exempts and 9months of ED before dtv... i have done 2 180day bounces (15min outside, land border) now with dtv no problems. Going to do next one next month due to my passport expires in 8months so cant wait another 3 months 😅

The DTV is multi entry visa. If you overstay or stay on any visa you owe $500 per day. This stuff is pretty simple.

You have a valid visa so you should be good to go

But

There has always been a disconnect between embassies selling visas and the RTP immigration officer stamping you into country

Good luck
