Background :

==========

I'm in my 6th yearof my H1B and I have my current H1 until Apr'2014. My I-140 approved)

I'm a FTE and 'm with my company(1000 employees and NYSE listed) from last 3years.

I got my Visa stamped in Feb 2010 at New Delhi. But I got 221g before getting my Visa.

The VO thought my company was a consulting company and asked for client letter,employee details with Salaries.

However after my company and attorney wrote a letter capturing all the details about my company I got my visa.

Appointment was at 9am. all H1B candidates were let inside at 8:15am bypassing many people who were ahead of us and was given a token on checking in. I had to wait 10mins before my token showed up.

Me: Good Morning Officer

VO1: Good Morning, how are you all?

ME: XXXXX

VO1: Are you here to renew H1B?

ME: XXXXX

VO1: I don't know much about H1B visa let me transfer you to our H1 expert.

He handed over my docs to a different officer and he said the other VO will call me when he is ready.

After 3-4 mins VO2 called me by name and I went to the counter.

Me: Good Morning Officer

VO2: Good Morning, how are you all?

ME: XXXXX

VO2: Are you here to renew H1B?

ME: XXXXX

VO2: Are you working for the same Employer for this renewal?

ME: XXXXX

VO2 : Is your earlier stamping with the same company?

ME:Yes(even before I answered he said I see it its with same company.)

VO2: Can I see the letter from yor company?

ME: Gave the letter from HR

VO2: Did your employer file your immigration petetion?

ME: XXXXX

VO2 : What is the status of it?

ME: It is approved, I gave the copy but he didn't bother to see it.

VO2: What is your salary $$?

ME:XXXX

VO2:what does your company do?

ME:XXXX

VO2: where do you work,location

ME:XXXX

That's all...then he said "Check back at the consulate around 3:00PM to receive the passports but I can't assure,else check tomorrow"

I got the passport same day at 3pm.

Can you please tell me, what did you write on your DS-160 form, on the last page, where it says, "Where do you intend to work?" .. Did you write US street address ,as your employer's address, or your client's address (as in LCA and in I-129)?...
