Hi. I had H1B visa extension before I became a US resident. I traveled a few times after getting my green card. Then, I went to my home country and have been staying there since 2018. Now I want to apply for SB-1 visa and go back to US if possible. I need help with part 8 of DS-117 form (https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds117.PDF). Can anyone tell me what information I need to put in these fields, particularly c and d?
