How long before I can re-enter the US on a B visa?
I'm a 24 year-old Australian traveller. I just spent a full 6 months in the US, mostly around LA. I stayed the full length of my allowed stay on a B2 tourist visa. I'd never ever been the States before!
I'm now back in Australia and wondering if I should wait another 6 months before coming to the US. I understand that is the general suggested guideline and that there are no real rules. I met a girl I really like there and would love to see her again. I'm not sure if anyone has any experience telling that to immigration on their next arrival.

There is no set time you must wait between visits. You could, in theory, return the day after you left, and be admitted again. The problem is that you have to convince the CBP agent that you are not trying to live or work in the US and are simply visiting. This becomes much more difficult when you don't spend much time outside the US...
