Visa denied at interview due to overstay in USA

[emt103c 10]

The ban is included in the INA from 1996. It has always been there, but consulates basically ignored it until last year and now only some are observing it. Technically, all should be enforcing it, but they are not. She is NOT ELIGIBLE to submit the waiver. It is not the consulate's fault, it is actually the law. Anyone who tells you they will submit the waiver before that five years is up is lying and stealing your money. I am sorry to be harsh, but it is reality.

But the OP said the ban was for 3 years. The one you are speaking of is 5 years. I am thinking the OP made a mistake saying 3 years and that it is exactly what you say it is. The 3 year overstay ban is waivable.

She said that he's already served 2 years of it. . .3 left. . .she's posted elsewhere
