Renetry after Voluntary departure

[YBZ]

Hello there,
Sorry to make this lengthy, did not want to leave any info out

I was an F-1 student in Strayer university, VA,USA from 2008-2011. Out of 3 courses of a semester I missed 7 classes of one course because it was in another city, but I realized too late that they are serious about F1 student laws and i was arrested by the ICE officers in my house on Sep 2010.
I was out of status around April 2010 and was trying to apply for reinstatement but got denied.I was out of jail on bond. I then had court date, lost the case and I opted for Voluntary departure. I left USA September 2011, the date given by the court. Overstay of 9 months because of reinstatement, and court dates.

At the moment I'm in United Arab emirates and Strayer allowed me to graduate my last semester from UAE. The moment I graduated, the next week UAE stopped issuing work visas for Bengali nationals where i'm a passport holder and i'm unemployed for a year.

It been 1 year 7 months since I have been out of USA.

1. I want to apply for an appropriate visa for the US to go and get work authorization. Is B1 or H1b would be appropriate or which one will I be eligible for. Can a person get employment sponsorship on visit visa?
2. Can I get a Affidavit of support or financial statement support from my Uncles living in USA or should it be my father if I'm applying for multiple visit visa.
4. How can I show I have good ties with my country to come back for. My parent's live over there and the last time I traveled there was January 2012 for 4 months. Before going to US (2008) that I traveled every year for 17 years.
5. Can I get sponsorship from my Uncle's company?

Any related thoughts would be apreciated

If you have 9 months of overstay, you will most likely not get another visa for the next 10 years... Additionally, you can not work on a B1 visa and you will not qualify for an H-1B until FY2015.

No my visa was valid, but the overstay was due to waiting for the immigration court date, reinstatement and ASAP federal program completion without which I coudn't leave the country

I can't leave the country because without completing the court hearing and federal ASAP program, ICE wouldn't give me the passport.

Hi YBZ

Hi YBZ,
i am in the same situation like you. i am also planning to apply for visitor or H1B visa for USA?
Have you tried to get visa? Did they impose you with 3 yr or 10 yr Bar for overstaying of 9 months?
In my case overstay is 1 year. i also applied for voluntary departure and return to my home country.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
CAK
