H1b Extension, dropbox eligibility

[aranjan2]

Hi,

I was with employer A and joined another employer B with valid H1 stamping. But my H1B stamping expired on October 2018 and my H1B transfer with employer B was still in process. In Oct-2018, my petition for H1 transfer got denied from USCIS, however I had changed my employer and went to Company C before the denial. I got it approved before my first Visa was expired.

While filling the application for Visa, I need to answer the question given below.

Have you ever been refused a H-1B (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee) visa before?(Yes/No). 
 
So, for above question should I Answer Yes or No, my employer has asked me to put Yes there, is it right ? and is I am eligible for Drop Box ?
 
Please advice ..!

Usually answer to that question would be "No" as it is about H-1B visa not the approval at USCIS. Please check with your employer/attorney again before you submit DS-160 and keep this thread update about their feedback so that it can be helpful for others even if I'm wrong.

Answer should be "No" as I797 is not a VISA

No.. your H1B petition is denied but not H1B visa. You did not attend H1B visa interview which resulted in denial...
