H1B holders

[e_ca]

I permanent resident of Canada and trying to get a US visa. My Last visa was H1b in 2018 but it was dropbox and my H1b previous to that(2017) was also in Toronto where I think I was fingerprinted. But I am very positive I was fingerprinted in 2012 while getting my F1/Student visa.
While applying for renewal this time I get the following option and I am confused with point #3 "Applicant submitted ten fingerprints when the previous U.S. visa was issued". Will i still be eligible for dropbox? Is anyone in the same situation?

• Qualifying statements applicable to citizens or nationals of countries that are NOT part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
  • Applicant is a national or permanent resident of the country in which the applicant is applying, and
  • Applicant has been previously issued a U.S. visa (any class of visa), and
  • Applicant submitted ten fingerprints when the previous U.S. visa was issued, and
  • Applicant answered 'NO' to all of the Medical and Health, Criminal, Security or Immigration Law Violation questions on the DS-160 visa application form

My situation is also same with Canadian pr, last stamping in India with 10 fingerprint, at the end website says dropbox and send docs to US consulate, Ottawa.But above statement is contradicted. I m also worry but will send my docs next week once i reach canada from India since i m not getting any visa slot in India.So make my mind to travel to Canada and do my us visa.
