Impact on H1 Extension Stamping in India - Overstay last time due to extension denial
Greeting Everyone,
Last time i applied for visa extension in 2013 and it got denied for some reason.
I went back to india and applied new h1 without cap from there and it got approved and went for stamping.
However i answered 'Yes' in DS 160 form where there is a question on overstay because i stayed in US for couple of days more (less than 15 days) after my extension is denied. US consular officer questioned it and told him that extension was denied and took couple of days to settle personal matters.
Consular accepted the explanation and said i don't have any issues in getting visa stamped but they want to do some checks and hence issued 221g pink slip which took 3 months to get resolved and got my visa and travelled to USA in 2014.
Now in 2016 - i applied for extension and its approved and i am going for stamping to india and planning to answer 'No' for overstay question in DS-160. will there be any issues in stamping this time. If i had answer 'Yes' for this question during last time - will this pop up this time also on consular's screen even if i mark no this time ?. i am nervous. Please someone help.
Thank you very much !!
