Got my Visa approved after being issued a 221g white slip. :)
Thanks everyone in this forum for sharing their earlier experiences. I got my Visa approved after being issued a 221g white slip. :)

I attended interview on 14th Sep 2016 in Hyderabad for my H1B visa application.
One lady collected all the passports from our counter and gave it to VO before the start of the interview.
After the initial client & employer questions:
VO: Did you ever apply for US visa before?
Me: I thought it's for H1 application as this is the first time for me. So I said 'No'.
VO: You never applied for US?
Me: Took 5 seconds and answered 'Yes'
I thought of doing Masters 2 years back, So I gave IELTS and got an i20 from some university. I didn't schedule/attend the visa interview. (I was trying to tell this but VO was not listening to it)
VO: Visibly irritated and said I asked the same question 2 times, you said 'No' first and then said 'Yes'. Said your visa application need further processing, and issued a plain 221g white slip and said he'll keep the passport.

Suggestion: Never try to hide any info from the VO. Try to recollect all the minute details about your previous visa applications, about your immigration check, etc etc. Don't lie at any cost.

Let me know if you need any further information, I will be happy to share my inputs.

As everyone say, Confidence is the key! All the best guyz..
