You never had a ban, based on what you described, assuming you left the US before age 18.5. The ban that people worry about in such a case is the 3-year or 10-year ban under INA 212(a)(9)(B), where if …

Since you overstayed an entry on the Visa Waiver Program, you are forever ineligible to use the Visa Waiver Program again, according to 8 USC 1187(a)(7), so (unless you have become a Canadian citizen) …

There are a few things here. First is the potential INA 212(a)(9)(B) ban if you leave the US. Specifically, if you accrue 180 days of "unlawful presence" and then leave the US, you trigger a 3-year b …

You don't qualify for the Visa Waiver Program because you've overstayed. When you apply for the ESTA it will ask you if you've overstayed. If you apply for a visa, it will also ask if you've overstaye …

You have no ban, because you entered with "D/S" on your I-94, so you did not accrue any "unlawful presence" since you didn't stay past the date on your I-94 (since there was no date on your I-94). Ho …

only after those 3 years I can apply for a visa and a waiver. Is this true? No, this is not true. After the ban is over in 3 years, you don't need (and can't get) a waiver because you have no b …

You seem to have a 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II) 10-year ban. 212(a)(9)(B) is a ban for accumulating a certain amount of "unlawful presence" and then departing the U.S. "Unlawful presence" is somewhat complica …
