If I Overstay My Tourist Visa, Would I Still Be Able To Apply For A Waiver?

Dec 21

Written By Law Offices of Dizengoff & Yost Immigration Lawyers Philadelphia

No. If you stay outside the U.S. for ten years, you will no longer be inadmissible (at least not resulting from your time in this country without legal status). Therefore, you would not need a waiver forgiving your unlawful presence in this country.

At that point, you could apply for admission into this country without having to file this waiver. However, this is no guarantee that your application for admission will be approved, particularly given your Immigration History.

Would I still need to apply for the waiver if I overstay my tourist visa and am barred from entering the U.S. for ten years?
