Yeah, only got caught once.
The only way to overcome the permanent ban (if that's what it turns out to be in my case) is by leaving the country, waiting outside for 10 years, then applying for a 201 waiver.
Apprehensions at the border are very common, sometimes they are expedited removals and some other times are voluntary returns. I am hoping that because I was a minor and my first offense, that it was a voluntary return and I can just continue with the 601a process.
