Will I be able to visit USA if I overstayed for 3 mths in USA ?

I would like to get some insights

I was laid off my job in mid April 2010.

My employer told me that my H1B will probably be stopped soon after.

I stayed around to look for a job and then left in August 2010.

Assuming it took about 1 mth for immigration to be informed that my H1B is stopped, I would have overstayed for about 3 months.

It is now Feb 2011 (6 mths after).

I need to return to USA for a short visit for about 1 week end Feb 2011.

I am representing my school in a MBA case competition and will fly to LAX.

I assume I will just enter as a tourist (get the white form at immigration?)

Will I have problems re-entering the USA?

Thanks

The overstay of a visa may triger a bar on use of VWP to visit the use, and may be required to apply for a tourist visa by filing a DS-160 to the US consulate.

To use the VWP you need ESTA pre clearance.

With such an immigration violation you are very unlikely to get it, even with it you might have issues at the PoE.

So chances are that you will need a B2, which may be difficult, but you can only try and see.

do i need these visas and paperwork even if my country does not require a tourist visa to visit USA on a normal basis?

this is for an overstay / out of status of less than 180 days

VWP allows some people of your nationality to use it, not everybody.

If you have issues, a criminal past, US Immigration Violations etc you are unlikely to get ESTA clearance. Have you completed ESTA?

Hi I have not completed ESTA.

I am actually not familiar and am looking and reading up on ESTA.

For the last 10 years, I have always entered USA via F1 and H1B so I am not up to date with these things since I am now wanting to enter USA simply as a tourist.

So if I apply for the ESTA and I get accepted,then it says i will be inspected at customs.

If I apply and am rejected, do i have to apply for a visa even though Singaporeans do not need visa to enter USA?

Again Canadian, British, people from Europe also don't need visas to visit the USA, even Mexicans don't need visas, however, IF they have something on their record that makes them inadmissible to visit on Visa waiver, they too WILL need a visa. And overstay of a visa makes people inadmissible under the VWP to visit the USA.

Mexicans do need visa's.

Some Europeans as well.

hi all

thanks so much for helping me out

alright so i just paid the 14USD and it says i am approved

so now what?

"Authorization Approved

Your travel authorization has been approved and you are authorized to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. This does not guarantee admission to the United States; a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at a port of entry will have the final determination."
