10 year ban for overstaying a US visa
In 1992 my now husband and I entered the USA through the Canadian border. We were never asked for our passports and were not issued an I94. We stayed in America until 2013 when we had to return to England for a family emergency.
My daughter is a US citizen and turns 21 in 2015 if she sponsored myself and my husband would we have to serve our 10 year ban?
Best Answer
She can petition for you, but you cannot get the actual immigrant visa until your ban is over. So she should wait until your ban is almost over to petition for you.
