Past still hunting me

[ivanlabour 0]

Hi there, so here goes my story, I will just need your input I know none of us can predict the future.

In 2006 I entered USA on F1 visa and soon after I failed to register for classes because of my fallout with my sponsor at the moment, I left USA 2 years later broken because I could not figure out my status. I do not have a 10 year ban because of the D/S loophole so to say. I did however broke immigration rules, so that was 7 to 9 years ago and now I am in Canada on my second work permit and will want to go to USA for a holiday. I do need to apply for a visa because my EU passport does not allow me to do visa waiver program.

Do you think I have any chance of ever stepping on US soil again?

This past has hunted me for a while, I finished maritime school and was supposed to go sail on a crude oil tanker but for it I needed C1D visa and I was scared to apply for it even though my future depended on it...

Thank you

Also I own realeastate in EU. I am 28. Also I would love to start my sailing career and I would hate to spend money on it again and risk being denied visa, but as someone wise once said we miss 100% of shots we do not take

There is no way you can guarantee acceptance.

No harm trying. I think you can file a re-entry permit at the border,I 192

if your Canadian permit is close to expiring they may not approve the

request due to past over-stay...if approved don't over0stay again.

What country are you originally from

Ex Yugloslavia ok thanks all. I am just a good example of how doing something stupid as overstaying can make you change your whole life 9 years after the beginning of overstay. I will google about i 192
