H1 Visa stamping India, GC process started

[hamepal]

Last year my visa status changed from F1 to H1 and I never went to India after the visa status change. In June my employer has started Green Card processing, it is in Labor certification state. 

Due to some urgency, I have to go to India. Since this will be my first visit after status change I also have to get the H1 visa stamped.  I am bit worried about stamping process. In DS-160 form there is one section which asks whether someone has applied for GC for the applicant. What should I fill here?

 

Consider that I fill Yes in this section, will it hurt my chances of H1 stamping?

You have to fill NO as I believe only if an I140 is filed it is considered beginning of GC processing. H1B petition is dual intent. Do not worry about it.

NO is the answer.

Hello, I have my I140 approved and my first H1-B visa appointment is next week, I already submitted my DS 160 form recently.

 

For a question in DS 160 form (Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the USCIS) I answered NO, is this question related to GC petition? 

will it be a problem? if so can I make any update to the form, if so how can I do that?.

 

Please let me know

 

Thanks in advance..

 

Moreover, Thanks to all forum member, info here is very helpful
