White House Issues Memo on Combating High Nonimmigrant Visa Overstay Rates

the White House issued a presidential memorandum on combating high nonimmigrant visa overstay rates. Among other things, the president ordered that within 120 days of the memo’s date, the secretary of state, in consultation with the attorney general and secretary of homeland security, shall make recommendations to reduce the B‑1 and B‑2 nonimmigrant visa overstay rates of certain countries.

You would first have to be aware of the 3/10 year bar.

 It is quickly approaching and you may not be able to come back to the U.S. for 3 or 10 years depending. You may qualify for the R-1 Visa (which is not the one you listed above). This is for the Religious Visa. However, because you are out of status, you would have to go back to your home country to get it. The exception would be if you were persecuted in your home country. In that case, you would have up to 1 year to apply for asylum after entering the U.S.
