Based on these facts, you will likely be found inadmissible not only for a section 212(a)(6)(C) fraud or misrepresentation, but you also triggered a 10 year bar under section 212(a)(9)(B)(II) for having overstayed your permitted stay. It is still something of an unresolved question whether you can satisfy the 10 year bar in the U.S. In any event, you should speak with a reputable and experienced immigration lawyer before filing anything with the USCIS.
