Good afternoon,
I am asking this on behalf of my son who is Canadian. He is coming to the end of a 5 year term for his travel ban which he was served for an overstay. He regrets his poor decision as a young man back in the day.
I have a few questions:
1) What is the first step to take after the ban ends and you wish to travel with a tourist status (allowable up to 180 days) again? Is anyone aware of the forms necessary?
2) Will all future travel to the US be far more complex than it was before the ban?
3) Will hiring a lawyer be highly advisable for his first attempt at re-entry?
The hope is that he is able to stay with tourist status and spend time with his brother (who has a 5 year visa). Potentially he would like to obtain a similar visa (as an athlete) in the future.
Thank you!
