overstayed visa waiver

[robbings]

hi, im an australian citizen and overstayed on the vwp in 2007 for 70 days due to illness, i plan to go to the us for a 2 week holiday and am wondering what the best approach would be for gaining entry into the us, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you overstay the VWP then you are no longer eligible to use it. Your overstay was not long enough to trigger a ban, but the mere fact that you overstayed means that the VWP is no longer an option to you. You will instead need to apply for a B1/2 tourist visa.
