visas issued by the US were S-7 visas

The S-7 visa is a nonimmigrant issued to the immediate family members of S-5 and S-6 visa holders, including spouses, children (both married and unmarried), and parents. It allows these family members to accompany the primary S visa holder to the United States for the duration of their stay. Like the primary S visa holder, S-7 family members may also be eligible to apply for permanent resident status if the principal applicant's cooperation substantially contributed to a successful investigation or prosecution.

The length of stay for an S-7 visa is typically determined by the duration of the individual's cooperation with law enforcement authorities and is subject to extensions as long as their assistance is required and they comply with visa conditions.

The State Department does not maintain a cap on S-7 visas.
