H1 Stamping - Overstay last time during extension denial

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Last time i applied for visa extension in 2013 and it got denied for some reason. I went back to india and applied new h1 without cap from there and it got approved and went for stamping. However i answered 'Yes' in DS 160 form where there is a question on overstay because i stayed in US for couple of days more (less than 15 days) after my extension is denied. US consular officer questioned it and told him that extension was denied and took couple of days to settle personal matters. Consular accepted it and issued  221g pink slip which took 3 months to get resolved and got my visa and travelled to USA.  Now in 2016 - i applied for extension and its approved and i am going for stamping and planning to answer 'No' for overstay question in DS-160. will there be any issues in stamping this time. If i had answer 'Yes' for this question during last time - will this pop up this time also on consular's screen even if i mark no this time ?. i am nervous. Please someone help

 

Thanks

Thanks everyone. I will answer yes and explain him. I work for big employer with more than 50k employees in USA.

I work on employer client model.

No vendor exist. Also I am going for stamping for same employer, same Location and same client as last time. Nothing changed. I hope there won't be any issues this time even though I answer yes.

I am not eligible for drop box as per the eligibility criteria defined for it.
