Hello everyone, Not sure anyone can help me, but perhaps you can point me out where I can get some advice.
In 2009 I dropped out of college while I was F1 visa, and I applied for B2. Visitor visa was denied, and I left the US within one year. I've read that as long as immigration won't pick your F1 drop-out case, you are not unlawfully present.
In 2014 I applied and received a visitor visa in my home country. That convinced me that I don't have any restrictions in terms of traveling to the US. Even in 2019, I've had a transfer in one of the US airports, and I went through the Immigration officer I let through.
This year I've applied for DV Programme. I know that chances are very low, but what if I win... When filling the DS application, should I state that over ten years ago I've overstayed my F1 visa? Or perhaps apply for some kind of waiver? Has anyone have been through a similar situation?
thanks
