Being resident in Canada no doubt helped with Schenegen.

Yeah It helped, But before I came to Canada, When i was still resident in the Philippines I already have a visa from UK, Australia and US of course, all are Multiple Entry.

Thank you very much for all the info

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.

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 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

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!

 

 

THank you

Unless you have close family ties in schengen like you do in the US, it’s not a valid comparison. 

“2 regular jobs” doesn’t sound like a permanent employment contract?

 

You can try...but be prepared for disappointment. There are lots of forum posts of Canadians in similar situations to you who have had to wait out bans. I can’t remember the number now but there is a surprisingly high number of Canadians who overstay so having done it once just makes it hard to come back ...

Thank you for the reply. I dont have family in the schengen, I just applied for a visa and got approved.

2 regular permanent jobs wtihe benefits not a contract.

Plus, he does not have Canadian citizenship nor mentions what his citizenship is.

I am eligible to apply now for canadian citizenship. i just want to get ahead coz i see it takes time.

I suppose you could try, but with a 10 year bar for a >1 year overstay, and with reason to do that again (family in US), I think your chances are nil.

Thank you for the reply. Yup, But i am settled here in Canada now with my wife, I can show that i have a strong ties here with 2 regular jobs and actually their both American companies plus i am a frequent traveller where i can show that i have visa in the other country like the Schengen.

Hello Everyone,

I've made a mistake 4 years ago for overstaying my B2 visa. I've made a choice due to family matters. Taking care of my grandmother.

I'm on a 10years barred from entering coz it's more than a year. I departed voluntarily and no removal proceedings and I have no criminal record.

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.

or any suggestions. I just want to travel again through border on a long weekend and or visit family there.

Thank you very much
