Legal Question in Immigration Law in District of Columbia
Ineligible to re-enter USA until 2013
I had overstayed in USA in 2002 for six months. The US Embassy Pakistan has said that I am ineligible to apply for a visa until 2013. However, I am getting married to a USA citizen. Would the US gov't allow me to proceed to USA with my citizen spouse before 2013 i.e waive the ineligibility?

6 months should has resulted in a 3 year unlawful presence ban. In either case, you may be eligible for a waiver of the bar but will want to consult with a lawyer to prepare the application and assist you in this process.
