US Embassy in Warsaw, Poland

[patita 0]

Guys,

I am going to have interview there. However I overstayed my visa for 192 days - so I will get the 3 year ban for it.

Im just wondering if they are friendly there, and if someone was in the same situation as me but went thru the process smoothly.

Im just looking for some hope! i can not imagine being away from my family for such a long time

I dont know what to do

thank you

I cant answer the real question about the ban and waiver... but I can tell you that I was in the Warsaw Embassy on April 15th with SO to help her get a tourist visa. I thought the Embassy was professionally run and found the COs very helpful. That said, I am the USC, if my SO went on her own, it might well have been a different story.

Patita,

my understanding is that you know for sure you will have a ban, right ? I overstayed but it was a long time ago so I guess it didn't count any more when I was getting my K-1. However, back then in 2005 I met a Polish person here on VJ, who already knew he would be denied and he wasn't stressing.

They will not give you a hard time about it (or at least they should not), but deny your visa and tell you what to do next. My impression about those officials in Warsaw is that they don't get personal or mean.

I am not sure what you are asking. If your question is "will they overlook my overstay ?" I am almost positive they won't. A consular officer has to follow special guidelines and it's the fact that you overstayed and there is a penalty for it, you'd better not be lying about it, and they have no choice but to deny you.

I have no idea how prompt waiver process is....

Patita,

I don't know this process but from what I heard so called hardship letter plays the major role there. You can find examples here on VJ.

Good luck
