Dear forum members,
I'm about to apply for my 7th year extention and I have a question. I had a 2 month employment gap between my current and previous jobs. I was laid off in March 2005 from Company A. I started working for Company B in May 2005. The attorney got the approval for transfer (I-797) with the I-94 attached. He told me that he made an explanation for my situation that it was not my fault, i was laid off. INS accepted the explanation and approved the explanation. Then I sent my passport for visa stamping to Dept. of State (revalidation). On DS-156, to the question "Have you ever violated your visa terms?" the attorney recommended to answer "Yes" and he drafted an explanation. Without any problems or further questions I also got the stamping. Since then I went abroad 3 times, again without any problems at the enrty.
Now my question is: Since revalidation no longer exists anyone who needs a visa stamp must go to a U.S. consulate/embassy. In my situation, even I got the INS approval with new I-94 and visa stamp through revalidation before, do I still have possibility for denial? Do I need to answer yes again to that question on DS-156 when I apply for visa stamp even I made the explnataion before?
Thanks for any inputs or thoughts.
