Visiting USA after Voluntary departure

Post by SidiBou » Fri Dec 31, 2021 6:41 pm

Hi All,
I went to usa back in 1999 on a tourist visa. Then, I
Changed it to an F1 visa, studied until 2004-05. Got my bachelor degree. In 2006 I was detained for overstaying in the country and started a long journey of court procedures for removal. In
2006 I married my US citizen girlfriend, applied for assylem and green card. Long story short, I
Went to court several times before i opted for voluntary departure and dropped both cases
Left the country on February 2012
I have been working for an American company since 2012 in different coutries/continents.
Applied for visa for a conference in 2013 and was denied due to lack of ties to country of residence
I remarried in 2013 and moved to France working for the same company.
Reqyested by my company, In 2014 I applied for a business visa and was granted a 10 years visa but my company canceled my trip for some reason.
Now my job would like me to move to the USA to work there by applying for an L visa.

My question is:

Can I visit the USA soon on the B1/B2 Visa that's still valid or should I worry about a 10 years ban that nobody ever mentionned to me and would i even have been granted a visa if i had a ban knowing that on my interview i did not hide anyhing from the embassy. I told them about the voluntary departure and even provided the documentation for that etc.

Thank you in advance and happy new year to All!
