Refused visa from USA. Letter is lost but so what can I disclose for New Zealand visa?
I applied for a USA visitor visa back in 2018 but was refused. I lost the refusal letter but didn't read it thoroughly and now I don't remember the reason of the refusal.
Now I am planning for a vacation in New Zealand for 7 days in winter 2022, and Question F4 of the New Zealand Visitor Visa application reads:
"Have you, or has anyone included in this application, ever been refused a visa/permit to visit, work, study or reside in any country? [] Yes [] No
And then:
If you have answered yes to any of the questions above give full details. This includes full details of any charges, convictions and the sentence or penalty imposed. Continue on a separate piece of paper if necessary."
What should I do or what can I disclose in response to the question above? I don't want to get into trouble and possibly be banned on deception. I will gladly inquire to the US embassy if they can provide me another copy of the letter I lost.

Do embassies know about visa refusal in other countries?
The embassy doesn't track your refusal, CLASS does. That's a database accessible to every American consular officer in the world at the click of a mouse, so it's not just the embassy where the visa refusal takes place.What happens if my US visa is refused?
When your visa application is refused under section 221(g), you will be given a written letter notifying you of the visa refusal and will have 12 months from that date to submit the requested documents without having to reapply and without having to pay a new visa application fee.How do I get a visa after refusal?
As per some immigrant department of certain countries, you cannot reapply immediately after your visa application was rejected was because the conditions due to which it was refused will not change overnight. Hence, you can only reapply in most cases six months after the refusal of your visa application.Can I reapply if my US visa is refused?
There is no time restriction on resubmitting an application after a refusal. If additional information or supporting documentation is available which may further demonstrate applicant's qualification for a visa, an application may be resubmitted.Should I disclose the refusal visa to the US,UK,Australia, \u0026 New Zealand in my Canadian application?
