Hi,

 

Require help on visa type on DS 160 form for H1.

 

If I have a H4 visa and now filling out the DS 160 form to attend interview for H1 Visa, what would the option to choose for this question Are you applying for the same type of visa? (Yes Or No).

 

Visa type is H, but class can be 1 (for H1) and 4 (for H4) per my understanding. so is it same type of Visa?

 

Thanks in advance! Appreciate your response.

Your answer should be "NO". They are the same classification but different visas and the required burden of proof/documents is different for both.
