Can I reenter the U.S if deported for overstaying my visa ?

B-2 visas are given in the discretion of the consular officers. Your overstay and deportation are heavy factors against granting you a discretionary visa. Overstay for one year and removal incur 10 year concurrent bars which were satisfied by September 2006. You may be able to qualify for a visa if it recognizes dual intent, such as the working visas H-1B for specialized workers or L1 intracompany transferees. Also if there is an organization in the country that is interested in your skills and wishes to sponsor you for immigration, that is a path that you can explore. You may also be sponsored for family-based immigration if you have immediate relatives who hold US citizenship or permanent resident status.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.
