H1B Denied - Going for H4 Stamping

[kkdaass]

Hello Friends,

I stay in US in H1B and my wife came to US on H4 in 2013. In 2014, she applied for a H1B visa through consultants and her H1B got denied. Yet to get the denial letter from consultancy. Now she have travelled to India for a month vacation and need to go for H4 stamping as her petition got expired already(Got new H4 extension approved).

In DS160, there is a question "Have a ever been refused a US Visa, been refused admission to the US, or withdrawn your application for admission at the point of entry ?"

Q1: What Should she answer for this question ? Yes or No? If Yes, please advise on what explanation to provide.
Q2: If the consulate asks about her H1B denial, what should she answer ?

Any advise in this is much appreciated !! Thanks !!

1. By denial they mean denial at the consulate , a H1 petition denial is not a denial of visa. So the answer would be No.
2. I doubt they would ask that.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
