Excusez moi mais es-tu sure? How is it you have had multiple inspections but have been out of status for 10 years?
jean23 wrote:<snip>my parents never aquire french citizenship, at least not that im aware of..but im pretty sure that there arent no french laws that says your parents have to be of french citizen to be given french nationality..french have the same law of the u.s, which is, if a child was born in any u.s department, then the child is automaticaly of u.s citizen , i may be wrong on that, but i know i was given french citizenship on birth alone<snip>
Birth on French soil gives no automatic right to citizenship. There are provisions for registering a child born on French soil to non citizens as a French citizen prior to their 18th birthday. Likewise provisions exist to deal with statelessness. Such would depend on Haitian citizenship laws too by virtue of descent.

If you know this right why are you asking about your 'obvious' right to reside in continental France.
I have asked/commented twice in English and French as to the nationality code on your passport as per ICAO standards and all I get is touchy response.....what's the big deal??

kayalami wrote:I'm somewhat confused here. AFAIK French passports (I have seen several) in common with ICAO standards have a field stating nationality/ nationalite. Ce passeport doit dit Francais ou Francaise avec lieu de naissance aussi.

Anyway back to the US issue:
jean23 wrote:i came to the u.s on visa waivers program which mean i dont need a visa to enter the united states because of my french nationality.. what happened is i overstayed which mean i broke the u.s law so now ill be leaving the u.s next month, which im very deeply sad about
as for the 10 year ban, i think ill be banned from the u.s for at least 10 years before i can even come back which really sucks because my parents were really aty fault on this..i was young and didnt know nothing about that..
IIRC the INA excludes minors from the bans pursuant to their last admission being inspected (I94W/I94) and that you were a minor then.
Your post in response to John:
jean23 wrote:Well, im not really sure yet..i was leaning toward going to france, but im worried about my french speaking skills..althought i understand french pretty good, i can no longer speak it like i used to because by living in the united states for so long, my french evaporated..i can still speak it but ive lost a lot.
I can relate to this.....my French has gone pretty rusty from non use but I can still understand enough to hold a conversation. It should come back pretty quick (IMHO 6 months) if you speak on a daily basis.
jean23 wrote:My first choice was and real always be canada but canadian immigration laws arent as easy as i once expected..first of all, the application fees isnt cheap, plus they're asking you a bunches of stuff like, criminal records of every country you lived in since you turned 18 etc etc plus, before you move there, you have to have $10,000 or dont even bother coming..i was going to move with my uncle in montreal then try to get citizenship and everything but it seem like you have to have money to migrate to canada so, right now canada is off my list.
It appears that you would fail to meet as a minimum the points required for the skilled worker matrix let alone the matter of financial capability.
jean23 wrote:My most likely choice is the U.K....The reason why i might be in england sometimes next month is because, i wanted to go to an english speaking country because im very confortable speaking english plus i have an american lifestyle and ive heard european arent to friendly with americans.
Many US nationals can relate to feeling more at home in the UK primarily due to the language and other cultural similarities. It is my experience that the 'aren't friendly' aspect is related to the political leadership than the general population.
jean23 wrote:how's the job situation in england is it hard to get a job there even a low paying job like a warehouse type of job? im not looking for something that pays a lot i just want it to pay for an apartment and my food etc etc.. then ill plan to go back to school and hopefully build myserf up from there.
In line with other G8 nations the UK economy has not done as well as expected to include many reasons such as global energy prices and increased competition from China. You need to consider too that the UK has allowed EU ascension nationals e.g. Poland to work in the UK which has impacted on the labour pool i.e. there are more people after the same jobs. Depending on your skill set and work experience to date it may be there are sectors of the economy which may be easier to enter e.g. construction, food processing. Note though that certain parts of the UK such as London and the South East (coincidentally where most of the jobs are) are very expensive to live in.
Summary
With respect and meaning no offence your story has way too many holes in it...such is your prerogative but you will only get incomplete and potentially irrelevant information. If indeed you were admitted to the US (your nationality is irrelevant) as a minor see an attorney..you may avoid the bans. Out of interest:
1. What have you been doing in the US for 10 years? Going to college? Working? How have you survived?
2. Where are your parents?
3. Is there a Haitian asylee angle to any of this?
4. Under what conditions are you leaving the US - voluntary departure, immigration judge ruling?
Feel free to pm.
