It's formal as an adverb as in your own example.
It is NOT formal as an adjective.
Ａ：「昨日乗ってた電車が止まっちゃって、家に着いた の１２時半だった。」
Ｂ：「そうなんだあ。 大変だったねー。」

Amongst one of the things I'm supposed to be able to answer, I need to be able to tell the "student" how long they are able to stay in the US. I believe 一年間まで留学できます would suffice, but I feel like まで could be replaced by a better word. Can one of the 2-kanji words that starts with 以 an option (I can't remember all of them at the moment).

一年間以内なら留学できます。
