If she overstayed by more than 180 days she will have a 3 year ban. If she overstayed by more than one year she will have a 10 year ban. If she overstayed by less than 180 days she won't have a ban but she won't be able to use the VWP again and will have to apply for a visa. Her chances of getting one after an overstay are slim though.

Hope this helps.

I actually feel a little sick to my stomach this morning..........I got a second touch dated 12/14/2007...................I think this is called "couldtheyfinallybeworkingonmycaseitis".......Oh Please make me real sick with it today............... :whistle:

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE RECENT APPROVALS!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH GO VSC GOOOOOOOOOOO :dance: :dance: :dance:

Lora,

We got two touches two days in a row..then got our approval 10 days later...lets hope they get crackin' on yours and get it out before this weekend is here. You are all still in my prayers...we are stuck at NVC...WAITING AGAIN...but I DID get a letter from them yesterday that stated they have our petition and it would be forwarded "within a week". It actually gave a time commitment. We all know one week can mean.."when we feel like getting to it!! " heheheeh...Anyways..good luck to you all...

With that aside...you are my family and support...

Im sorry to report that my father was officially diagnosed with the rare dementia of Pick's Disease yesterday...and they give an estimate that ha has 4-5 years left. (he's only 71 currently) I was advised to lock away ANYTHING that can be used as a weapon, that he could become psychotic and become violent...to call 911 if that happens to ensure my mothers, mine and his safety.... :crying: :crying: :unsure: :unsure: :help: My dad is the sweetest, softest man I know...but I do see signs of this impending diagnosis.

I share this...because i have no support here other than you people...Im asking for your prayers for my parents as they endure this hard time in their lives. I just wish Amr was here... Soon, god willing....
