I overstayed my VW by 3weeks and i have just arrived back in the UK.

i now understand i cannot use the visa waiver programe again.

What other temp visas would allow me to go see my girlfriend in the US ?

She is currently going through a divorce so i cant use a k-1.

any ideas?
 
Should not have overstayed, if I were you I would have went a quick flight to Canada and entered US again with another 3 months if the situation in US warranted your presence, now you will have issues even if you get married to a USC.
 
you overstayed for 3 weeks?you can not enter US for a certain time for about 1 yr, 2 yr, 3yrs oe even ten years depends on how long you overstayed on US.
 
You're right- you're no longer allowed to use the VWP....a mere overstay of just 1 day would warrant the same outcome.

Tourist wise, you're only other visa option is a B1/2 tourist visa, however you will find it very difficult to get one due to:
1) Coming from a country that already participates in VWP (unless you are of retirement age).
2) Failing to adhere to the rules of a previous visa by overstaying (how do the US consulate know you won't do the same on a B visa?)

You can apply for the B visa as there's no guarantee it will be rejected, and if it is, then all you would have lost is the filing fee and time spent travelling to the interview and back (a visa rejection and your overstay will not have any effect on a prospective K1 application). You do not have a ban (as the previous poster hints towards) as you did not overstay more than 180 days.
