  • DS -160 Online Form Question - H1 extension denail

    Hello,

    My H1 extension was denied and my company applied for new H1 and it got approved. I came back to India to get new H1 stamped.

    While filing DS-160 for VISA interview, one of the questions is

    " Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?"

    Should I give details of H1 extension denial? Is extension denial same as VISA refusal?

    Please provide me the information.

    Thank you

    I don't think an H-1B extension denial is the same as a visa refusal. However, if your case was ever placed on hold under section 221(g) during the visa interview process at any of the US Consulates in India, then that constitutes a denial and that you should mention in your DS-160 form. Otherwise, I don't think you should bother.

      Petition denial and Visa denial are not the same thing.
      This is my opinion and not legal advice.

        221g is considered as a denial only if the visa get did not get approved later. If the visa got approved after receiving a 221g, then it is not considered to be a denial.
