So far he always enters under the VWP, but we thought we should get something more permanent for him. An immigrant visa isn't correct because he would have to spend the majority of his time in the U.S.

I asked the visa 'expert' at the U.S. Embassy if there was another type of visa, eg. non-immigrant visa, so he could have unlimited visits and not have to worry about the 90-day limit on the VWP (in case we ever decide to spend a few months in the U.S.) and I was told there was nothing. I find it hard to believe, but the U.S. Immigration website didn't shed any light either.

So what visa might be available to a citizen of a VWP country, who needs more than an occasional 90-day or less visit, but doesn't want to immigrate?
