I'm an Italian citizen and I've overstayed of 30 days my 90 days tourist Visa waiver programme in the U.S. in 2001. First I got sick and then I was afraid of flying after Sept. 11. I don't have medical certificates. When I left I gave in at the airport the expiration card but the passport wasn't stamped. Since then my passport expired so I got a new one. I would like to go back for a holiday at some stage, will I have any trouble getting in? WILL MY NAME COME UP SOMEWHERE?I'm afraid that if I ask the embassy the problem will come out even if there wasn't one and if I just buy a flight I'm afraid they'll send me back. Is there a safe way to find out what I should do? advice from informed people very much appreciated. thanks.

The mechanism for you to return to the US is to apply for a non-immigrant visa at the US Embassy Rome. You will have the opportunity to explain the circumstances of your overstay, and if there are not other issues, it is highly likely you will receive the visa. Otherwise, if you simply try to enter under the Visa Waiver Program again, you run the risk of being stopped at the Port of Entry and ordered removed, which would only compound your problems in trying to enter the US in the future.

If you overstayed on a visa waiver program you have to apply for a visa at US embassy to enter USA. You will have to disclose the information if you go to embassy to find out.

I know of an Italian grandmother who overstayed by one day and had trouble getting to come here again. So, all I can say is good luck.

I am telling you my Friend, if you value your life, liberty and freedom. Please do not go. America is none of these things any more.
To best describe the growing situation,would to say the U.S. is at war with it's own citizens and heading into a totalitarian state. Complete with secret police. obscene powers to all government agencies. They rutinely practice torture, redention, allow secret warrentless searches, secret trails with accused having no right to even see the eviedence against him/her as well as secret executions. America is officially the worlds rogue state. The military power and the greatest propaganda apraendus the world has ever witnessed makes them very dangerous as they are following a very narrow agenda ad may resort o extrodany means to hold on to power.
With over 600 secret prisons set up around the county with convrted cattle cars on tracks runing through them, all stafed and ready to go, you must ask who are they building these gulags for?...Mary.

You are in the system, and most likely yu will be denied entrance. All overstays on VWP automatically deny you VWP priviledge again. And actually make it very hard to get any visa.

Truthfully, it is extremely unlikely that there is a record of your overstay. In addition, since it was so long ago, it is very likely that, even if there were a record, you would be admitted anyway.
Can't make promises; just assessing your chances, which are very good but not guaranteed.

I think they will find out thay you have previously overstayed and you may be denied to enter the country.
