I lived in the US illegally as a child, do I have any real chance of being accepted back?

My parents and I moved to the US on a tourist visa and overstayed in order to live there (I assume like many illegal immigrants have done). I lived in the US for very formative years of my life, so despite only having stayed for 5 years, and even though 11 years have already passed since we moved back to where I was born in, I still feel very connected to the culture, I still talk to friends that live there, and I'd like to move to the US legally.

Besides working for an american company in my country, I don't think I have anything that the US would value if I were to try and move back to the US. No college degree, no company that would send me a job offer for me to be able to move, etc. Although I'm 99% sure that if I were to move, with the experience I have in my line of work, I would be able to get a job quickly. I know companies that are hiring that would benefit from me as an employee because they use software of the company that I work for, and I'm in the technical support desk, but I don't know any of those companies well enough to ask them to send me a job offer if that makes sense.

​

Knowing my background, is there any chance that I can move back to the US legally? or, as I have assumed for many years, I would actually be lucky if I were to receive a tourist visa since my time spent in the US was illegally?

​

Thanks for any help in advance!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
