He has a 6-month visa and is staying close to that long.
What kind of Visa, Tourist/Work/Student?
If he is coming on a Tourist Visa, be sure he by no means mentions he will be doing ANY work, or even looking for work (even working for free in a family business or around the house doing odd jobs) This is a surefire way to be sent back.
I will warn that a six-month stay could be a bit of a red flag to be just "visiting" the United States. And aside from improper paperwork, is probably the #1 reason I see people sent back.
