Interesting situation

[unlucky-guy]

I am in an interesting situation and wondering if somebodyelse is also dealing with the same issue?

I have a stamped H1-B on my passport that is expired from my previous company. I switched jobs and have my approval (I797) with me. I am going overseas to get my new H1-B stamped but the problem is, before St. Louis revalidation stoppped, I tried to have my visa stamped here in the US. However, they did not do it, as my new I797 was far from expiration date. (they do it if our visa is about the expire)..

My question is, should I fill out the DS156 form as "rejected" for a US visa previously? Do you guys know if this makes things more complicated. If I says "no" do they track it down and make a deal out of that?

Any ideas appreciated

nothing is interesting about this situation. its a straight forward case. your visa wasn't rejected from St. Louis. your application was RETURNED. There is a vast difference bewteen RETURNED and REJECTED. yours was returned so don't worry and say "no" in DS156.
