Why do you think this is a matter of a few months? All we know is that the author hasn't traveled "recently".
But yes, those kinds of thresholds are common when it comes to residency as an official concept for e.g. taxation. Usually the threshold is around 183 days, but there is no reason why it'd be obviously less arbitrary than other choices.
- _nalply 5y agoWhere do you have this strange number from? The factorization is 3 * 61.
- Wingy 5y agoIt’s 365 / 2, ~half of a year :)
- __zack 5y agoIt’s just over half a year
- cldellow 5y agoAs others have said, it's half of a year. But most importantly, it's the number that the US government uses on form 8840, the Closer Connection Exception Statement for Aliens: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8840.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8840.pdf
- _nalply 5y agoThis answer is why I asked my somewhat stupid question. You know 183 days is weirdly specific. Why not just say 6 months or half a year? And know I know why, it's because US goverments uses this number as a cut-off for some legal consequences. Thank you!
