How long ago was the overstay?

Is the US Employer aware you have a ban? Some work visa's can take a long time, which one are you looking at?

A ban is a ban. If you had left before 6 months overstay you would not have a ban, unfortunately you crossed the line into 3 year ban territory. I stand corrected but I don’t know of any waiver from a ban for a work visa. In Feb 2023 the ban will be over and you can apply then.

The 3-year Unlawful Presence Bar

If you are an alien and you are not a lawful permanent resident of the United States, you may be inadmissible for three years if:

  • You accrued more than 180 days but less than one year of unlawful presence during a single stay in the United States on or after April 1, 1997; and
  • You voluntarily departed the United States before DHS initiated either expedited removal proceedings under INA 235(b)(1) or removal proceedings before an immigration judge under INA 240.

This 3-year inadmissibility period starts when you depart or are removed from the United States. 

During this 3-year inadmissibility period, you are not eligible to:

  • Receive an immigrant (permanent) visa or a nonimmigrant (temporary) visa to come to the United States;
  • Adjust your status in the United States to that of a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder); or
  • Be admitted to the United States at a port of entry.

I have not look into that in detail. But yes, the US. Employer is well aware of the ban. I interned with them when I was student. The company is interested in any Visa that would not require to leave the country every 3 months or something like that.

Huh? Sounds like you would be trying to use a non-work visa to work, why else would you need to leave every 3 months? To be honest it sounds like you have not learnt the lesson of how the US deals with visa violators. Anyway as you will have seen from the USCIS extract I posted above, the ban prevents any kind of visa or even being allowed into the country.

There is no 3 month work visa.

You are right I have not learn, thats why I am here to know how this works. I was in us for 5 years, and never went out of status. My only mistake was to over stay trying to find a job after graduation. 

 

Its not my intention to be leaving the US. Every 3 months, I just mentioned it because I know there is vistor and Business Visas that have such requirement.

Not so much leave the US, well as a visitor any long stays will be scrutinized if applying for another visit.

 

Plus they do not allow you to work, limited Business activities at best.

 

There is a non immigrant waiver for an overstay - D3, takes time and has to be recommended by the Consulate.
