F1 to H1- First time H1B stamping DS 160 doubts

[Sairaj599]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have my h1b petition approved and is activated few days back i.e., OCT 2014 and I have an interview date for visa stamping at Jamaica. I studied at a reputed school and now work for a reputed big company. 

I have a few doubts. 

1. Specify home address -> which one do i specify? my current one in the US or my home address in India

2. Previous Employment -> Are on-campus jobs and Teaching Assistantships involved in this? I worked as Research Assistant and I have my W2 as well- should i mention it?

3. Date you intend to arrive and depart in the US: I have a return flight in Nov 6 (which would be the arrival date in the US) , but what do i put down as the departure date? Even as an approximate? Do i just indicate what is on my i-94 or the one on I-797?

4. Have u visited any other countries in the last 5 yrs? This is confusing, I was in the US and I visited India , and when i was in India i visited US. Do i take it to mean APART FROM US AND INDIA? what do i fill out here? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

1. One in US.

2. Yes, mention everything.

3. An approximate date will do.

4. If you mention US visit that will be fine as India is your home country.
