This looks to be a memo that is meant to fix that!!!
If you're an under 21 minor child of a USC, then you don't have to worry about the 3/10 year ban. It looks like they're considering expediting all of the hardship waivers. omgomgomg. This is pretty good news.
I'm scared as hell of going back to my home country, even if only for a bit, but I think a few weeks stay would be doable!
Edit: Foudn the actual
memo.
Alas..

USCIS intends to limit this process change to aliens who are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, as defined in section 201(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1151(b)(2)(A)(i), who must depart from the United States to obtain immigrant visas, and whose U.S. citizen spouse or parent would suffer extreme hardship if the applicant were denied admission to the United States. The term “immediate relative” means the spouse, parent or child (unmarried and under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen.

This looks to be aimed at people who are actually EWI, not for people like us
Although wait.. Being EWI is grounds for inadmissibility.

USCIS intends to further limit this procedural change to waivers filed by immediate relatives of U.S. citizens whose only ground of inadmissibility is the three- or ten-year unlawful presence bar under section 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) or (II) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) or (II).

So this memo would help.. whom exactly?
+ Not children under 21 of USC since they don't need a waiver because they are immediate relatives and their overstay is forgiven already.
+ Not visa overstay spouses of USC since they don't need a waiver because they are immediate relatives and their overstay is forgiven already.
+ Same with parents.
Just who is this memo going to help?!
