Flying out of the country and returning on the same day for 6 months extension, is it possible? Or is it risky to do? 

Would staying 1 night and flying back the next day be safer? Anyone with experience that flew back same day did you have any troubles? Thank you

Why is it “your right” if you are not a citizen?

If you have all the documents, leave for 1 night and come back, I don't think there should be any problems.

But if you are worried, I have a service that will take care of you.

That's pretty much what a multiple entry visa was designed for.

Is it better to return the same day or stay overnight when renewing a DTV visa at the border?
