Can I apply for a B2 visa with a previous US overstay?

If you overstayed your previous visa by more than 180 days, you might face a 3-year or 10-year ban from entering the US, depending on the duration of your overstay. In such cases, your B2 visa application may be denied.

If you're barred from entering the US due to overstay, you may need to apply for a waiver (Form I-601) to overcome the grounds of inadmissibility. This waiver can be filed along with your visa application.

Each visa application is evaluated individually, and the consular officer may consider factors like the reason for overstay, your current circumstances, and ties to your home country when deciding whether to approve or deny your B2 visa application

Yes, you can apply for a B2 visa after a previous U.S. overstay, but approval is less likely and depends on the length of the overstay and individual circumstances.
