As with most things to do with USA immigration law, very loosely; at the
discretion of the Border Protection Officer (or ultimately of an
Immigration Judge). It has more or less it's usual English meaning, in
this case "zero or more".

You can visit zero or more times. The key word is "visit"; under what
circumstances would you consider someone to be visiting your house as
opposed to living in your house? More or less the same considerations
apply here. I've never heard of anyone having problems who stayed out of
the USA for at least as long a time as they last spent in the USA before
applying to re-enter. Some people get away with re-entering sooner, many
don't (especially if they do it repeatedly).

The I-94 is the document which entitles you to be in the USA. An I-94
issued to someone who entered as a B-1 or B-2 will have a date on it,
usually 6 months after the date of entry; they must leave the USA on or
before that date (unless they extend their stay while in the USA). |
