Self- Deportation - Page 2

no it probablly will not. As I said, someone else i know did this no problem. Also, I came to the us in 2001, soon before 9/11, and I was 11 years old. They have no way of knowing if i left or not, like i already said when i was leaving, he just checked my name. They also have a huge mess with their systems anyways, my chances are pretty damn good.

Another story i have is our family friends, whos dad was deported by immigration, and soon after he won a green card and him, his wife and 4 kids were allowed to come to the usa and they didnt even know they deported him.

If you entered on a visa, trust me, they know -- the immigration people at checkpoints can look up to see where and when you've entered the country previously and whether or not you've overstayed your visa before. Whether that particular individual 'processing' you cares is another story, but they're supposed to care and in such a situation you are not supposed to be allowed back into the country.

My point is, don't rely on entering the country through a checkpoint if you leave after overstaying.

Well I will just have to take my chances. I am not gona not see my parents for 10 years, I am seeing them this year hopefully, and as I already said, i know people in the same sitaution as me who were let in, the us immigration system is one big mess.

hello mac900 i was reading your posts and i have one question. when you apply for a visa on the application do you put down that you have lived in the us before?

I have actually. I said I came when I was 11 with my parents and left after 2 weeks.

so basically u lied.. (not that i have any problem with it)

Tbh I dont even see it as lying. I never chose to overstay, according to me I left when I was 11

See that is what I was trying to figure out how he got the waiver. Thanks for clearing that up. And if I could drive I would be best friends with a senator. Actually one of my friend's grandma's is a Texas Representative and she goes to my church. Maybe I should muster up the courage and tell her hmm...
