soha Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 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 Link to comment
shekar11# Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Answer YES again and inform the visa officer if they question you. It is only 2 days so you should be good. Always better to answer correctly than take chances. In your case 2 days is not a big issue. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Never change a reply if you want the visa stamped. You do know the concept of databases?. Secondly this time there will not be a problem assuming you are working for a standard employer. Link to comment
nik125 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 You should answer Yes because question is have you ever over stayed or not. and you did. so i would recommended to say Yes and explain the situation. Also you may be eligible for drop box as well in that case you may not need to go for interview either. Link to comment

soha Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 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. Link to comment
