    Question How Many Years am I Barred from Coming Back to the USA After Voluntary Departure

    Hello!
    I'd like tofigure out if i still have any chance to come back to the US early than in 10 years. I was caught in us because of i've cancelled my program and didn't come back to my country. It's happened after 4 months i'd quit my program. But I hade the hearing after 9 months i've been caught. And i left the country under volunteer departure after i've stayed more than 1 year in the US.
    So how many years i can't entry the USA? What can i do to entry it earlier? And how will affect CWOP in passport for my future travelling?
    Thanks to everyone.

    The voluntary departure does not create a period of ineligibility, as long as you leave on time. From what you've stated you have a ten year period of ineligibility based upon your overstay of more than a year. If you want to enter before that time you must qualify for and obtain a waiver; that's easier to do for nonimmigrant visas than for immigrant visas, but as we know nothing about your present situation it's something best discussed with an immigration lawyer who knows the details of your case.

    Your prior visa was apparently cancelled without prejudice (CWOP) meaning that the cancellation of that visa does not, of itself, prevent you from seeking a new visa. That's a separate issue from your period of ineligibility.
