How likely is a successful appeal?
I have a new employee I have hired in Malaysia. Last weekend, he was coming here for a first visit to the HQ in Houston. He was detained and deported in Newark. The reason given was that he overstayed a visa in 1999 (by a few weeks).
He has since that time been in the US at least 2 times with no problem (on that same passport). The passport he used this time was new, the old one having expired. He brought the expired passport with him, I believe, because the visa in it was good until April of this year.
He was given a notice that he is barred for 5 years.
How likely is it that he can successfully appeal to the AG for reapplication, and get a new visa?
