Cancelled without Prejudice

[GDA]

Hi,

I have a question and need your help here.
I came to US in 2008 on –> F1
Did my MS —> 2008-2010
Got a Job in —> Oct 2010
Got H1 approval —> July 2011
Came to India for Stamping and got first 221(g) —> 13th Feb 2012
Company provided all the documents, yet got another 221(g) –> 19th March 2012.
Now I have decided to come on H4.

I had one question regarding the DS-160 filling for my H4. When I had gone for my H-1B interview, I still had an existing and valid F1 visa (expiring in 2014). During the interview the VO had marked that visa as “Cancelled Without Prejudice” stamp. Should this be considered as a cancellation?

Now I am filling a new DS-160 application for H4 visa. There’s this one question in DS-160 which asks: “Has your US-Visa ever been cancelled or revoked?”

What should be the answer?
Also does the 221(g) for H1, affect my chances of getting H4?

Please help!

You can write that as canceled and explain as canceled without prejudice in the explanation section.
Also, 221g counts as a denial, so you have to also mention that as Visa application denied.

None of the above will affect your H4 application.
