    Default Entry on a K1 Visa after a Prior Overstay

    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.

    Default Re: Entry on a K1 visa after a prior overstay

    If you apply and are denied because of the overstay, then you'll know.... But if you've visited a few times without problem, it's possible that you were lucky and they didn't associate the overstay with your immigration history. You may be able to find out from Customs and Border Protection if you are subject to a period of exclusion; but if it were me I would probably submit the K1 paperwork and see what happens.
