H4 stamping - 48-Month Rule for Interview Waiver

Hello,

I have a couple of questions regarding the nonimmigrant visa interview waiver -

Question on the website - "Did your previous visa (except B1/B2, B1, or B2) expire within the last 48 months?"

1.⁠ ⁠Does the previous visa have to be a stamped visa?
2.⁠ ⁠Is the new visa application for the same visa class and category as the previous visa?

My case—my H1B expired in April 2024, and it was not stamped. I am applying for H4 in September 2024. So, should I select "YES" for the above question as the H1B was valid until April 2024?

Screenshot for reference -
