Employment History
I am working as FTE with company A who gave me an offer for location X. After working there for 10 months I took transfer for location Y. My company filed my H1B amendment for the same along with extension. So in DS160 employment history perspective, do I need to show previous location X as separate employer or it will be considered into continuation? I am confused because both location practically carry two different H1B.

H1b Tricky Question
Hello all,
My employer has filed for Green Card, Labour got approved but still waiting for the i140 approval, should I select "Yes" for the question in DS160 "Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf"? and if I got questioned by visa officer are you planning to settle in the USA, so then what should be the answer. Please suggest me, how to tackle the question.
Thank in advance.

H1B Dropbox - Delhi - Admin Processing
Dropbox in Delhi: Dec 20th
Case Status: Administrative Processing
Case Last Updated: Dec 27th.
Anyone else facing the same issue. VFS folks are not helpful, called them multiple times and ended up canceling my flight back.
My spouse is on dependent visa and went for the visa interview on Dec 21st and already received her passport a week back.
Are they just randomly marking cases for Admin processing. Mine is just H1 renewal, same company for last 9 years.

H1B Stamping with arrest record
Hello Everyone,
I have an arrest record for shoplifting and this happened 4 years back. I forgot to pay for an item during billing and store thought that I did it intentionally. I went to court and they dismissed it and I was not guilty. I have the final disposition court copy.I was on F1 before and I'm on my H1B extension now and I had to travel to India for an occasion and had to go for stamping, I mentioned clearly about the arrest and gave explanation on DS 160 form. This is my first H1B stamping at Hyderabad consulate and I went during Christmas time and it went very smoothly.Here is my experience:
VO was a middle aged male
VO: Good morning!!
Me: Good Morning Sir, Merry Christmas!!
VO: With a big smile Oh Merry Christmas
VO: So you work at client location or employer?
Me: Client location Sir
VO: What's your client name?
Me: told him my client name (VO asked for spelling which I told him and he was typing)
VO: Role?
Me: Software Developer
VO: Highest Degree?
Me: Masters in CS
VO: Did the same employer file a petiton for you before?
Me: I said Yes and told them that I'm with my employer since 3 years
VO: Do you know your rights in US?
Me: Yes sir
I was tensed at this point and was expecting the question on arrest. He didn't ask for any documents and he just took the passport while typing something. Then comes the golden words
VO: "Your visa is approved".
I was on cloud 9 and my eyes were filled with happy tears.
He didn't ask anything about the arrest. May be it didn't pop up or they already knew it was dismissed and were satisfied with my explanation on DS 160. Guess I was lucky by God's grace. Got my passport back in 1 week.
Always answer confidently and be truthful. Hope my experience helps others.
