In June 2000 i was granted a J1 visa which i overstayed by 9 months. I didnt work during this time and I left the US voluntarily. . I was unaware of the 3 year ban and if i had known i would certainly not have came for a visit a year later and a few more times in the following years. Nothing was asked of me upon entering and nobody knows about it. I now have an American fiancee that i met abroad and we want to set up home in the US and were thinking about a K1 visa. Beacuse of my prior overstay and the fact i might have violated the ban unknownly how could this affect my K1 or would i be denied right off the bat.
