    Default Apply a G4 visa after F1 overstay over one year

    I overstayed in USA over one year and came back home country. My wife is now working in an international organization with G4 visa in USA. Can I apply for G4 visa to visit my wife or I will be banned for 10 years no reentry?

    We had a friend (working in the same organization) whose parents overstayed over 180 days with B1 visa and successfully got G4 visa after one year they left USA.

    My wife consulted the visa office of the organization. The officer told her that it doesn't matter if I ever overstay or not, I can get my G4 visa. However, the officer failed to give us any document to support his speaking.

    So we are very wondering if G4 visa could waive the overstay record.

    Thank you very much for any comments information.

    When you say you overstayed by one year, how precise are you being? Did you overstay by a year or more, or did you overstay by a period that was actually less than one year?

    Default Re: Apply a G4 visa after F1 overstay over one year

    I overstayed more than one year after the date I could stay listed in my I-20. For example, my OPT expired Oct. 2004 and I didn't change my status, but stayed until Jan. 2006.

    Thank you!

    The consequence of overstaying by a year or more is much more serious than a short-term overstay. You should consider consulting an immigration lawyer.
