My parents and I entered the United States legally with a tourist visa when I was 2 years old and left when I was 13 so we were there illegally for about 11 years. I left with a temporary passport (salvo conducta or safe passage) And this was about 6 years ago. I was wondering if I could somehow go back to the states and possibly live there (legally of course).

Do you have any reasons to go back to the US? No one can just move to the US just because you want to. 

 

do you have a degree? You can be sponsored by an employer.

do you want to own a business? You would have to invest over $500,000+. 

 

There is is no way you can just come over here again just to live just because you want to with no reason to.

There are different options for immigrating legally to the States.  Different requirements for each of them.  

 

Depends on which option you choose to, and are able to, pursue.

Hi,

 

Having previously live in the US will not help or hurt your chances of immigrating to the US.

 

There are hundred of millions of people who want to immigrate to the US.  The paths to the US commonly are family sponsored visas, work visas, or investment visas.  Unfortunately, most people don't have a path to the US.  They don't have a close relative who can file a family petition.  They don't have the proper credentials for a work visa.  They don't have $500,000 to invest in the US.

Do you have a close relative that can file a family based petition for you?

 

Do you have the educational degrees for a work visa?

I think what you are concerned about is whether your six years of overstay will hurt you. Fortunately no, because you were a minor and left before you became an adult the ten year bar to entry does not affect you.

 

Thus you can return to the USA on a visitor visa, students visa, working visa, or as the relative (spouse, sibling etc) of a US citizen or the spouse of a lawful permanent resident.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,

Neither are you here to live up to mine.

I don't owe no one no obligation 
So everything is fine, fine

I said, I am that I am I am, I am, I am

Im familiar with the things everyone suggested, but sadly no..I have no close relatives, dont have a degree yet and I dont have $500,000. I was raised there and feel like I should be able to go back because its where i belong. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I was looking for somthing that doesnt exist apparently...if anyone has another suggestions let me know.

Sad to say you may feel it’s where you belong, but you were there illegally due to a decision your parents made. There is no “should be able to go back” that arises from that illegal circumstance even though it was entirely the decision of the adults in your family and not your own “fault”.

You need to fall in love with a US citizen or PR.
