How many days that you plan to stay did you enter on the application? (Assuming you want to stay long-term).

180 days, a full year, multiple years?

@Valerie ********
 that should be fine. As long as it's not 180 days or more because that would mean you're overstaying your stamp, regardless of your intention to extend in country
