VWP Overstay and subsiquent visa applicatin/s
I am a UK citizen residing in the UK.
Married a US citizen Oct 19 2006 in Georgia during my 90 day VWP visit(Entered US Sept 26 2006). Intended to apply for Green card when finances were available (I could not work). Marriage broke down and left US Aug' 2007.
Aware I have a three year ban. Been offered a job in UK by 'Brown Paper Ticket' Co.(US Based) who are expanding to UK. Need to visit US for two week training - what are chances of obtaining a 'conditional' visa for this purpose?

You will need a waiver in order to overcome the three-year bar. The company who is requiring you to attend training in the U.S. should provide supporting documents and perhaps legal counsel to assist in documenting the waiver. Basically, you need to present positive factors in order to outweight the negative factors involved in your overstay. The positive factors could be charitable activities, community involvement, no criminal record, nor any other immigration violations, or any evidence that shows you in a positive light, and that you are sorry for the violations and will never do it again. |
