If you could please get back to me with some info. Very mixed info out there, You can contact me by e-mail, only. Thanks
Good day, there are two main issues in your case, aside from those ordinarilly faced by visitor visa appicants. The first is the overstay of the visa. Since it wa 14 years ago you should be abel to overcome this by showing you are firmly established in Ireland and have no intention of coming to the US to stay but only to visit your daughter. The second issue is the child endangerment felony, which is fairly serious and most likely qualifies as a crime of moral turpitude (the statute for every state is different so the NJ statute would have to be carefully reviewed fir accuracy). Assuming it is a crime of moral turpitude, you are inadmissible to the US, but are eligible to apply for a waiver under section 212(d)(3) of the Immigration Act. Applying properly is a time consuming process and the most important part is knowing what to submit in order to convince the US consulate that you are in fact rehabilitated and deserving of the issuance of the pardon and visa. If you would like assistance with this, please contact our office and schedule a telephonic appointment. Our telephone number in the US is (619) 291-1112.
