  YES! More precise, they don't ban you, they just don't give you a new visa. US immigration authorities use the following logic: If immigration officer has opinion that you are potential immigrant, he will refuse you a new tourist visa. Or another definition: If there is no clear evidence that you are not potential immigrant, you will be refused to get a new tourist visa. For example, people often won't get US tourist visa: 1. Who spent too much time in US on tourist visa (even if they formally didn't break their limits); 2. Who previously had a visa under "Work and Travel" program; 3. Who are young single girl; 4. Who said that he/she has relatives or friends living in US; I wasn't careful and said that I have a friend living in US. They immediately refused to give me US tourist visa! I read several hundreds interviews with US immigration officers (people posted their experience after refusal) and I think I clearly understand how US immigration authorities made their decisions. But it's too late, I did it AFTER my interview with immigration officer. I didn't want to stay in US illegally but immigration officer think so. US immigration authorities are very, very, very suspicious about Russian and Middle East citizens. BE CAREFUL WITH THEM!
