Minor overstayed VWP, will it affect in the future?

Hi

I overstayed a little more than a year in the U.S. in the past on a VWP. Overstayed as a minor and left the U.S. as a minor.

I understand that I don't have a ban since I departed the U.S. before I was even 18. My question is: when my gf petitions a K-1 or a CR-1 for me in the future, a side of probably being asked about the overstay during the interview or at whatever time during the application's process, is there any probability of not getting the K-1 or CR-1 visa because of my a-little-more than a year overstay as a minor in the U.S.? If so, due to what reason could it be?

Just wanted to know if there could be a possibility of not getting the K-1 or CR-1 visa because of my overstay in the U.S. when I was a minor.

Thanks.

It will not make a difference. As you understand, minors do not accrue illegal presence.

So does this mean that it will be like the overstay never happened and it will not affect on a future K-1 or CR-1 petition because the overstay was while I was a minor?

It will be noted as " overstay " but it happened while you were a minor, so you dont have any ban, and it wont effect on your K-1 or CR-1.

Thank you. So noted you mean like it will simply be noted in my immigration history that I overstayed, right? Or noted where?

Yup! But it is not serious at all, since you do not have any ban.

Thank you I'm happy to know that.
