B2 Overstay / 212 D 3 Waiver

[SusieQQQ 11,584]

I think OP missed my point about no family in Schenegen - there is no overstay risk for schengen because no family there. So saying “I went to Europe and came back” is meaningless to a US official, who is worried about overstay in the US because you’ve done it already and you have family here, two big red flags that aren’t relevant to having a schengen visa.

Being resident in Canada no doubt helped with Schenegen.

Agree, I traveled many times to schengen and never got a multiple entry. That does however mean I probably know the schengen visa form verbatim by now  it also requires much more initial documentation than a US visa. And though all the forms are the same, some consulates are more lenient than others.

I am a Canadian PR for 2 years now, I would like apply for a b2 visa again and the 212 d 3 waiver, I would like to get some info on the procedure of this.

 

I'm assuming your B2 visa was cancelled or already expired.  Apply for a B2 visa again, following the normal procedure.  No need for any additional form.  Bring all the documentation you can to show your strong ties to Canada.  During your interview, ask the visa officer for the process to apply for a 212(d)(3) waiver.  Note that even if you're allowed to apply for the waiver, there's no guarantee that you'll be given one.  I recommend getting Canadian citizenship first, to increase your chances of being granted a waiver.

 

Another option, though this might only apply after you get a Canadian passport: apply for the waiver with CBP at the border or a pre-clearance office.  You'll need to fill out form I-192.  Still need documentation to prove your strong ties to Canada.

 

Also, the case below is not exactly the same as yours but may give you some hope.  Good luck!

i was basing through experience, when i was still in my home country, I applied for US visa for the first time but it was denied, After that i was approved in Australia and UK visa (Both Multiple Entry) and re apply my US visa and  I was Granted 10Yrs M. Means to say that

you have capability to travel in the first world country aside from the US.  It's like applying for a visa again the way the process go on the waiver. It's my fourth time in the US when the overstay happened which i can explain that not intentionally. No harm in trying.

 

Thank you very much for the info

1. All that other traveling stuff got invalidated in US eyes the day you overstayed. 

2. Even real unintentional overstays (example: flight cancelled due to weather) have consequences. You “unintentionally” overstayed for over a year? 

3. Yes, no harm in trying.
