As a minor, what does that mean if you overstay your visa waiver? I am attending a private high school, and pay full tuition, I would like to go back to my country and apply for a student visa for finishing (private) high school. The main reason, I have became out of status, is that my dad's company have not arrange my paper, and when I did found out it was to late. I have a sponsor and can show prove to pay for school and living.
 
If you are under 18 years of age , overstay is forgiven, as soon as you reach 18years of age unlawful presence starts mounting up and you will be subject from 3 to 10 year ban from re entering the USA
 
If I go back this summer, I am quite nervous that it will take forever or even a possibility, I will not get it because of overstaying (age=16 y).

What I understand once back in the EU, I need to ask for an appointment with the embassy. Should I also do some preparation over here, while I am here?

If I leave the USA with age of 16, will I have a mark behind my name when I enter again?

Does anyone have experience going through this process?
