3 year ban is up

[DanahG. 6]

Hi everyone! I overstayed my j1 visa for 10 months because I was pregnant and had to born my baby in USA. I went home to my country voluntarily, 3.8 years already. Now I’m in process of CR1 visa will have my interview probably next month. My question is do u guys think I still need a waiver? 212 or 601? Or do u think I will be AP for a long time? I’m very anxious. Thank you! 🙂

I have a similar issue. But I was in student visa (F1). My legal status was terminated due to low GPA.

And I have been 2 years and 4 months outside of the United States.

I have CR1 Visa interview in January 20th, 2021.

Some people say the ban doesn't activate for a student even if he is out of status.

I'll let you know how it went.

Wow! Awesome!

Everything is going to be alright in Jesus name!

Don't forget to schedule your medicals as quickly as possible.

Sometimes it take more than 15 days for the medical results to come in.

Hi! How was your interview?

It went very good.

They didn't ask me nothing about the overstay even though I mentioned it on DS260. Nor they asked me about my marriage.

Literally I felt like I went there just to drop off the documents.

But my visa is pending because my medical results haven't come out yet. 

My passport stayed at the embassy and the visa will be issued as soon as they received my medicals.

Keep calm, everything is going to be alright.

Thank you so much 🙏🏽

I started overstaying in August 2016, and I left on September 2018.

Before I left, I got married in November 2017, but we didn't file any papers.

Marriage by itself doesn't make you legal. You have to file the paperwork to USCIS in order to be legal, which we didn't do.

My overstaying lasted about 2 years.

Got approved too! Yey 🙏🏻☺️ Thank God!

Did they tell you anything about the overstaying?

Did they give you already your visa?

Thank you! Yes most of the questions were about my overstayed lol took more than an hour because the consul seems like had to ask the other consuls regarding about my situation as I was just looking at them by the window praying it will be positive result. He had to hold me many times to check something in and out of his cubicle 🤷🏻‍♀️ But then my heart started to beat again when he finally said my passport will deliver with the visa in 2-3wks. ❤️😍 and upon checking my ceac status says issued, 3 hrs after my interview!

Have a nice flight already😂😂😂

Take care.
