Overstayed B1/B2 I 94 by 120 days and intend applying for f1 visa to study nursing

[Ada01]

Hi All,

I kindly need advice, suggestions or an immigration attourney.

I got my B1\B2 visa in November 2017 for a conference in the US . I visited the U.S and left.

In 2018 I got pregnant and decided to have my child in u.s since my visa is still valid for 2 years I am a Nigerian citizen.

I immediately informed the embassy on my new travel plans into the u.s.
The embassy replied acknowledging the mail and also stating only the CBP could allow a traveler into the country or not.

Jan 2019 I arrived the airport and showed the officer the updated mail I sent to the embassy,
my correspondence with the hospital in US and my proof of funds. The CBP officer stamped my visa i94 and I was in.

I gave birth late March 2019, my i94 expired mid july 2019, and I didn’t leave US until mid nov 2019.
After birth I didn’t know how to apply for an extension, I was overwhelmed with a bad tear from birth
and also a delay from birth center documentation I got my childs passport in August.

I would like to apply for an f1 visa to study nursing in the US now.
Can you put me through on the possibilities on getting a visa, my child is already a citizen, but my partner and I would have to apply for visa.

I got the first visa from outside Nigeria, and I am currently living in UK
My concerns are the questions the VO would ask on the intent to leave after study and a lot of other questions,
but ild also like my child to school and grow in the US, and myself I would like to study too.

Thank you everyone

It would seem you were only unlawfully present for around 120 days. You don't incur the three year bar until 180 days. Howeer, having a US citizen child and prior overstay will potentially raise a red flag. In fact, your statements here indicate you have immigrant intent. I would seriously recommend you speak to an attorney before you make a bigger mess.
