That bit confuses me as I was told as a B2 holder that the 180 days is the max time per rolling 365 days, not per trip (and it is my job to ensure I don't violate it). I do know there is a way to extend it by sending your I94 stub to Mesquite, TX along with around $200. The reason I know this is my parents spend 6 months per year (2 x 3 month stays) in the U.S. on their B2 but consulted an immigration lawyer about extending their stay.
