Can I apply for a U.S. visa if I previously overstayed?

Yes, you can apply but whether it will be approved depends on how long you overstayed.

If you overstayed for less than 180 days and then left the U.S., you may still be eligible to apply for a new visa.

You may be able to apply for a waiver called an I-601 or I-601A, if you have a close U.S. citizen or green card family member who would suffer hardship.

Some visa categories like U or T visas may forgive an overstay under certain humanitarian circumstances.

If you overstay was due to circumstances out of your control like illness or travel bans, you may have a stronger case.
