Overstay as a minor in USA. Will I get a visa again?
Upvote:4
I was 11 when I was taken to be US on a tourist visa. I moved back to my country just before turning 18. When I turned 28, I had a stable job and my situation was a lot better and I wanted to visit the US once more, so I applied for another tourist visa. At the time I didn’t realize the ban wouldn’t apply to me because I overstayed as a minor. In any case I decided to be truthful about my overstayed time and disclosed the information as asked on the application. I was approved for a ten year tourist visa with only a short interview. I think it had a lot to do with my being honest, being a minor, the fact that ten years had gone by and I had a stable job with property in the country. Be truthful.

Have a look to Visiting the US after overstaying as a minor 13 years ago? which is basically your case with the difference of the OP there asking whether being eligible for ESTA. The main take-away is that even though you do/did not have a ban, you still have an overstay. It is not going away, I'm afraid.
Not disclosing this previous overstay is a very bad idea. While you do not have to volunteer this information, when asked you have to answer truthfully!
You do not disclose why your application in 2009 was rejected but I do take a guess that the fact that you have overstayed but worse you apparently did not disclose it (this kind of stuff is being asked on visa application forms) might have played a role. (Then it might as well not have.)
For your final question, this is not how it works! The idea is that you have a premise and apply for the correct visa. If your only premise is wanting to go to the US no matter what for (and making up a story for the visa you decided to apply for) then this has a good chance of failure/you riding yourself deeper into the dirt. It is not a question we can answer. If you want to go as a tourist, apply for a tourist visa, if you want to study, apply for a student visa, if ... you get the idea?!
