For those entering in a nonimmigrant visa status, the admission details are recorded by the CBP officer on a Form I-94 (or Form I-94W for nationals of the Visa Waiver Program countries for short visits), which serves as the official document authorizing the stay in the United States in a particular status and for a particular period of time.

The "time of application" that is used for these relative time calculations is the time that the visa application is submitted with payment of visa fee.

However, for the B-1 in lieu of H-3, an application can be made directly to the United States consulate, and Form I-129 is not relevant. The B-1 in lieu of H-3 has the same time limits on stay as usual B-1 visas, which is a maximum of 6 months per year, and therefore a maximum of 6 contiguous months.
