10 Year Visa Overstay Waiver

Summary

Overstaying a tourist visa can result in a 10-year bar from re-entering the U.S. A waiver (Form I-601) may be required to overcome this bar. Unauthorized work can complicate the waiver process, and it is crucial to disclose all relevant information during consular interviews. Consult an immigration attorney for personalized advice.

Did you disclose your unauthorized work during your consular interview? This could impact the waiver process.
General Information:
- Unauthorized work can lead to immigration penalties.
- Waiver * can forgive overstaying visa, but not always unauthorized work.
