you can stay a full year, entry+ extension gets you 360 days. A day boarder run gets you another 180 days. So realistically you can stay 364 of 365 days.
Boarder runs are no issue with the DTV vs 60 day exempt or tourist visa.

ohh that's great! We have been planning on both of us needing it. We had been waiting to apply together but what you said makes sense. I'll get my application in ASAP.
I am applying soon with my wife and two children. For the $16,000 "available funds" does that apply for the children also? I believe just my wife and I need $16k each for $32k available?
