You could say the same about VISA to US. You have 3 months to visit US. But then you discover that if you visit Canada/Mexico during those 3 months, then these days are counted towards stay in the US as well. WTF? not exactly better system than EU

The trick is to get a work and travel visa. Visitors visas in the US can be at most 6 months. Work and travel visas can be extended far longer and they don't actually require you to work. A friend of mine discovered this on accident while work and travelling.

You are mistaken. US visa does not limit your stay in the US at all. Immigration officer at the port of entry make this decision.

If that's true, its even worse - you don't know where you stand if your plans could be ruined because somebody's having a bad day.
