L1 refused 221 (g) 4 years back - can I apply again from europe?

[luv]

Hi,

Can someone advise me about my below mentioned US L1 situation? Thanks in advance.

I went to US for training from October 2000 to March 2001.

Came back to India and my company applied for my L1 and I got it.

I was in US on L1 from Feb 2002 to Jan 2004.

Went to Mumbai consulate for re-stamping of my renewed L1 in March 2004 but my L1 was
refused under section 221 (g). Consulate wanted following additional documentation:

Last 3 years tax returns of my company in US
Last 3 years balance sheet of my company in US
List of all employees working in US

At the same time there was another project for me in europe, so my company applied
for my netherlands residence permit which I got and am currently in the netherlands
since last 4 years.

I joined the company in netherlands in April 2008.
They want to send me to US for training for 2 weeks.

My question is:

Can I apply for US B1 visa from Netherlands?
As mentioned above, my previous L1 visa is on hold 221 (g) since March 2004. (more than 4 years now)
Is there any risk that the VO here in US consulate in Netherlands will ask about previos 221 (g)?

Not sure how do I handle this situation.

Can someone help me?

Thanks.
