Default Going Back

I need some advice...

In 1993 my parents and I came to the United States on a visitors visa. We overstayed our welcome and have been here for almost 14 years now. My parents found companies to sponsor them so adjusting their status is in the works. However, because I am over 21 I am not covered under them. I think the best thing for me to do is to move back to London and live and work there but I want to know if I'll still be able to come back here for vacation. Also, what kind of problems will I be facing when I get to the airport when they see that my I-94 is well over expired. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

With that long of an overstay, you are probably looking at a 10-year ban from returning to the USA if you leave now.

You might want to consult with an immigration attorney to see what options you might have.

Once you've been outside the USA for 10 years, you should be able to
get a visitor visa.

None.

Your chances of a Visitor Visa anytime soon are slim to nil.

Leaving is not a problem, just hand it in to the airline, they have no interest.
