    Default C1/D Visa - Will I Get It

    I used to live in america for 2years after i dropped out of school i went to so i was basically there illegally and i went back to europe before the expiry date
    Of my visa even tho i lived there after it stopped being valid... Now im gonna get a job as a officer on a foreign ship and they r gonna send me a guarantee letter with which i go to my local usa embassy and apply for c1/d visa which will allow me to travel thru usa but not go out of the harbor or airport... My question is can i get this visa? I also have a house and that will be my job so i have no reason to be in the usa and live there...=please help
    and i guess i have that 10 year ban but im not sure about that and if i did get that ban is there a way of removing it cause this is going to be my career outside the us and i will work for internatioinal companies who come to usa harbors like 2 month for 5h max

    and i guess i have that 10 year ban but im not sure about that and also my lawyer once told me they cant legally ban me for this cuy i was on duration of status and didnt recieve anything from uscis on my usa adress...this is my new career as a seafarer and it would be unfair to me if they dont give me this visa that will only allow me to visit usa harbors for maybe 5h a YEAR...

    My question is can i get this visa?
    We can't answer that. You'll have to fill out the paperwork - completely and accurately - and wait for the USCIS to make a decision.

    So its all up to them? Do i need to take some evidence that shows my ties to my homecountry? What do you think my chances are?

    The visa paperwork. You don't just go to the embassy and ask for a visa, there's a pile of paperwork to complete.

    Yes, it's all up to them, and no, I can't guess at your chances.

    One more thing my country will be under wvp soon and we will have to change to new passports and will i ever be eligible to use wvp? And i know theres a bunch of paperwork i have to fill out... So if its up to the immigration officer i guess i will have to get as much evidence that proves strong ties to my country

    i read about this i-418 form that my ship captain or master can fill for every person of the crew that doesnt have a visa when we hit us waters / harbors... Does anyone know more about this?

    Once you overstay, assuming your overstay is detected (and it's reasonable to assume that it has been) you become ineligible for the visa waiver program and need to apply for a visa.

    An I-418 form is a departure list for working crew and passengers.
