DS 160: Person/entity paying for the trip

[spuri]

Hi,

I am a temporary resident of Canada and my H1B petition was recently approved. I was getting the DS 160 form ready for the visa application. I am unsure of the answer to a question in that form -"Person/entity paying for your trip". The options are -

(a) Self

(b) U.S. petitioner 

(c) Other person

(d) Other company/organization

I am a bit confused as to what I should choose here, Self or US petitioner? I was planing to cover the moving expenses by myself.

It will be self.

Some employers pay for the visit and some don't.

Ideally its good to opt for employer as it also kicks in the employer-employee relationship bonds
