jenish.shah Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi, Some background about me. I joined service based company in India in June 2010. I got my H1 stamped in 2011 having validity from October 2011 to Sept 2012. I got onsite assignment in June 2012 and came to US(First visit to US). I got my H1 extension done in September for validity from oct 2012 to sept 2013. After I got extension, I changed the job and joined US based company after H1 transfer. Now I am planning to visit india in January for a month and because of extension I need to go for stamping. While filling 160 form I had below question. 1. What should I write as Home and Mailing address in Personal section? Should I write my current US home address or should I write my India Home address because at the time of stamping I would be in India. 2. What should I mention for Question "Have you made specific travel plans?" in Travel section? I do have my return tickets. - If I select "Yes" to this question, it asks me for the arrival date in US which I can provide based on my ticket. But it also asks for Date of departure from US which I obviously do not have. So what should I put there? - If I select "No" to this question, it asks for tentative date of arrival to US which again I can put based on ticket. But then it asks for the duration of stay. What should I put as a duration of stay in US? Also if I put No, then while stamping will it create doubt in counselor's mind that I have gone for vacation and dont have specific plan? Can you please guide what option should I select Yes/No based on above situations? 3. While providing information about my previous company what should I write as company name and address? Because this service based company hired me in india and after couple of years I traveled to US. Should I put company's address of India or US because when I joined US based company I was in US for that service based company? Can you please resolve my above doubts? I need to fill my 160 form today so its bit urgent. Thanks Link to comment
cooldude76 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 1. Write US address 2. Mention tentative dates, no need for a firm date. 3. Better to mention US address for company. Link to comment
jenish.shah Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks for the reply. But for question 1, should not it be India address as I would be going for stamping in India and also my mailing address would be india? Thanks Link to comment
cooldude76 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yes you are correct, please have India address, for the question "Address where you will stay in the U.S.:" surely put in the US address. Link to comment
