Option strict on disallows implicit conversations from string to Boolean

The condition of an If requires a boolean value, true or false. You are giving it a string value.

What you want is to check if that string has a value and you do that with…

out_str_InVerification.IsNullOrEmpty

This will be true if it has no value, false if it has a value.

All that being said, you should do the free training on the UiPath web site. It teaches you these things.
