Applying for non immigrant visa after removal and 5 year bar

I do not believe that there is a good chance that you will be allowed to obtained a student visa under the circumstances that you have described. A student visa is one that requires nonimmigrant intent, and the fact of your having worked on your last visit would give many consular officers doubt as to whether you could be trusted not to work or attempt to remain permanently in the US if you had a student visa. In addition, you are under a five-year bar which would require a waiver by U.S.C.I.S. following a consular recommendation that a waiver be approved. If you decide to do it, you would apply for a student visa, be denied, and hopefully given the opportunity by the consular officer to apply for a temporary waiver of the five year bar.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
