I've traveled to the US on numerous occasions. In may 2015 I traveled to Houston and stayed there until January 2017 which I did voluntarily depart.  Now me and my high school sweetheart has decided that we are gonna get married (she is a US citizen). I don't have any criminal records whatsoever in the US or anywhere in the world. She lives in the US and I live in the Caribbean. So my question is what's the procedure or my penalty before returning to the US to be with my wife?

In 2015, by what visa did you enter the US?

 You are currently under a 10 year ban from the us for overstaying a visa more than a year.  Your girlfriend can file, you WILL be denied at the interview and told if there is a waiver available to you.  That waiver process will delay you by another year or so over someone without a ban.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
