Did they ask you what you did for those 3 years?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Weeks, months, or even years in some cases. If they are trying to verify the duration of your unlawful presence to see if it triggers the bar, it could take a while.   I think the CO could

In his case he was removed. After a removal process the bar is inevitable. In my case it’s different though. I was on an F1 visa with D/S. Never had any problems with ICE, no removal, nothing. I left willingly without any immigration involvement. Visa officer did not approved my visa but kept my passport and gave my 221(g) stating Administrative Processing. 

Your departure itself triggers the ban.

Apparently not for F-1 with D/S. I have seen many examples.

Well because there is no way to find out if there was a formal finding by an immigration judge related to my case.. If the bar was triggered when I left the US, shouldn’t it be already in the system so that the CO can see it during the visa interview? I’ve read some people get 212(A) during their interview right away and CO let them know that they have a right to apply for 601 waiver. I received 221(G) and he kept my passport.

That’s a relief.. He told me that there is a good chance that I will be approved even though I stated about my overstay on my DS-260 application, and answered truthfully when he asked. If he is the one that will make the determination about the bar, then he possibly would have made it then. (I’m just motivating myself) Thank you for all the help! Also big thank you for letting me know about the FOIA, which came back clean.
