gear9 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Hi, I am on H-1B and I work remotely for my company from my home. I have booked an appointment at US Embassy in Toronto for visa stamping (this would be my second H-1B stamp). I was reviewing my DS-160 application today and I realized that I have entered my company's HQ address under 'Primary Occupation' details. My question is - do I need to fill out a new DS-160 and change this to my home address (which is also on my LCA)? One other thing to mention is that the visa interview scheduling website is not letting me change the DS-160 number. What should I be doing in this case? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Edit: Under 'Temporary Work Visa Information' section, I have entered my home address as the address of my employment (which is correct). Do addresses in both the sections need to match?

gear9 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Found an answer in one of the posts on this forum, looks like I can put my employer / petitioner address in the first section. The address should match the one mentioned on I-129 (which in my case matches). Curios though, if others have different thoughts. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Create a new DS 160 and submit it. Take your old DS 160 and new DS 160 confirmation pages and at finger print you can ask them to use new DS 160. They will scan new DS 160 bar code and it will get updated in your profile.

User099 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Its better to update it if you know if you entered it wrong. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you did not submit it then just update it else Create a new DS 160 and submit it. Take your old DS 160 and new DS 160 confirmation pages and at finger print you can ask them to use new DS 160. They will scan new DS 160 bar code and it will get updated in your profile.

gear9 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Update: I emailed Toronto Consulate (canada_contactus@visaops.net), and they are kind enough to change the DS-160 confirmation number in the backend. I am filling out a new DS-160 and getting the confirmation number updated from them. Thank you all for replying. Quote Link to comment
gear9 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Another update: The Toronto Consulate folks finally changed the DS-160 confirmation number today. The whole process took 5 business days. Quote Link to comment
