Hi, 4 years ago I went to the USA and decided after my waiver was up I didn't want to return home, I overstayed by a period of under 180 day (although this is after the allowed 90 days - are the 90days included) basically I was young naive And very stupid. I returned freely was not stopped at Immigration etc paid for my own return home. I realise I will have to apply for a visa to gain re entry to USA. However I'm worried as even with a visa it apparently does not guarantee u entry I'm USA. I would like to take my daughter to Disney and to meet her fathers family who are American, but I am afraid to do so incase I get denied entry. Everything I have read says a three year ban between 180 days and 365 days overstay, as far as I'm aware I'm under this so would this bode well for me?
 
Just because you don't have a mandatory ban doesn't mean they will give you a visa. Even perfectly upstanding people with no history of overstays or any other problems get denied visas. Any amount of overstay looks bad when trying to get a tourist visa.

I realise that it's not going to look good, as I Put in the opening post, I'm not asking to be judged here I realise I was an idiot I was looking for advice.
 
Are you and the child's father still together, and if so, are you travelling together to the US? If so, you'd have a good chance of approval, especially if you have a good job and all back home.
 
No. I am not still with her father. We tried for a while but various reasons did not make it. He has nothing to do with our daughter (his choice) his family however do and her 3 half sisters ( also dont see their father and they live in america) anyways I have a job (whether its classed as a good job im not sure lol) and my daughter starts school in a welsh language school which should show im serious about staying in the UK as no where else speak welsh. Hell hardly anyone in Wales speaks welsh lol!
