You don't have to mention the countries through which you have transit. But if you have entered any other country and if it was not just a transit, then you have to mention it.

DS-160 Questions - Travel Plans

Hi
I have a specific concern about a question in the DS-160 form.
I am a H1 B worker currently working in the US.
I am visiting India for 1 month during which I need to visit the US consulate to get the visa stamps on my passport .

In the form after selecting H1 B there is a question " If I have specific travel plans"

I entered Dec,2011 as departure from US to India
and Jan 2012 for Return from India back to US, but I get an error saying the departure date cannot be before the arrival date into the US.

My question is
a) is something wrong with the website or
b) Should I select "NO" for no specific travel plans made and enter Arrival date into US and Departure from US is the validity date in the I-797.. I have all my trip booked for the 1 month and confused what the question is about

Please help as I was not able to find answer to this query

What you enter in DS-160 is as of the date of the visa interview. The question asks about your travel plans to U.S and back from U.S. Your current departure from U.S to India doesn't matter to them. When you fill DS-160, always think of the accurate information as of the date of your visa interview.

DS-160 Questions - Travel Plans

Hi Sherwin143:
If I understand correct, the form intends to ask when I am entering US once the visa is approved and when do I intend to come back to my home country from US ..

Id that true than for the question" Do you have any specific travel plans?" I have to answer "No instead of yes, because offcourse my trip from US to India is December, 2011 (known date) and return is by end of petition date on I-797..

I entered YES for the question " Do you have any specific travel plans?" because my vacation plans are booked from US to India and then back to US after the Consulate Visa interview . Please comment

>>> That is correct.

Id that true than for the question" Do you have any specific travel plans?" I have to answer "No instead of yes, because offcourse my trip from US to India is December, 2011 (known date) and return is by end of petition date on I-797..
>>> Why do you have to answer NO? You already know when you are planning to re-enter U.S, right? Then answer YES and enter that date. The return date can be tentative. It can be close to the petition expiry date.

I entered YES for the question " Do you have any specific travel plans?" because my vacation plans are booked from US to India and then back to US after the Consulate Visa interview . Please comment
>>> It has to be YES. The return date can be tentative.
