I did an initially search on google, and there is stuff out there about both calendar; however, it was over my head. Then, it seems they have calendars according to where you live, i.e., North America (the point being, there's also the possibility they're going by a North American Islamic calendar, or Middle Eastern Islamic calendar, or wherever they're from).

Hummm...Exactly 30 days...And a rental truck found near the airport.

How about this...

"The INS finalized on April 11 the
rule limiting the period of a
tourist's stay in the United States
to 30 days, instead of the usual
six months."

Here's just one of many sources for this.:
