H1 Petition Denied. Should I mention in H4 Application.

[tmlblu]

My wife got H4 visa stamped at Chennai Consulate in 2010. She came to US and we applied for H1 with a consulting company. The petition was rejected due to client letter issues.

 

Now our H1 and H4 visas got expired and our extension petitions got approved. She is going to India now and will need to get her H4 visa stamped.

 

Will she qualify for Visa Interview Waiver? What to answer for 'Have you ever been refused a US visa?' in application.

 

Please advise.

What to answer for 'Have you ever been refused a US visa?' in application.

 

 

If her visa was rejected then enter yes.

She could be eligible for a drop box if she fulfills all conditions. 

Her answer has to be NO.

The petition is not a visa. She would seem to have never been refused a US Visa.

How sure you are about it? Do anyone had experience with it?

I am confused and I don't want to take any risk. Hope you understand.

As pontevecchio mentioned a petition is different from a visa. If you would like to confirm you could ask an immigration attorney.

@tmlblu,

 

I am in the exact situation as you were. My wife's H4-h1 petition was denied and now I am going for visa stamping for extension of my H1 and her H4 extension. Should I select No for the question, Have you ever been refused a US visa ? 

What did you do ? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you read the previous answers?

A petition isn't a visa.
