I was in US till Jan 2018 with H1B status, my H1B extension I129 petition was rejected on end of December 2017 and I left US on January 2018. I also happen graduate on Dec 2017 with a masters degree and got admitted to an university to pursue my PhD which I am planning to start from Fall 2018. At present I am in the process of filling DS 160 form and I am concerned about couple of questions in the form.
1. Have you ever been refused a US VISA? - Since my extension petition I129 got rejected by USCIS should I say "Yes" to this question? please help
2. Have you ever been unlawfully present, overstayed the amount of time granted by an immigration official or otherwise violated the terms of a US VISA? - Since my H1B extension petition was denied on Dec 2017 and I left US on Jan 2018 should I assume that my stay between this period is unlawful? If yes should I say ?Yes? to this question? Please let me know the consequences.
In one of your DS160 forum it has been mentioned if I say yes to some of the questions the VISA officer will deny the VISA for sure. Please clarify.
