Opinions on this workaround...

You would have to prove your 'riches'.

You've been given all the info you are going to get.

People get too wound up about counting days. What they're concerned about is your immigrant intent. If it sounds like you live in the US, they won't let you in, period. Not for one day, let alone six months.

Legally as a visitor you must have sufficient funds to cover the trip and an abode abroad. If you tell them you say, own a house in the US and your partner lives there, expect to get denied entry.
