Help required to fill DS-160
Hi Guys,
I am in a confusion state while filling US Point of Contact Information.
Contact Person or Organization in the United States. I am able to fill only one option, but my friend was able to fill both the options.
Is it ok if I fill only the contact person but in review page it says organisation as DO NOT KNOW which wrong I guess.
Can you please help me to fill this?

group appointment
Hello Everyone,
I just booked an appointment for me (H1B) and my wife (H4) to interview together. On the appointment confirmation letter for my wife, it says H1B for visa class. Is this because I booked our appointment together? Should I call/email the embassy to see if they can change it to H4 or I shouldn't worry as that's how it normally appears because the principal applicant (me) is applying for H1B? Thoughts?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
I attended Visa interview on 10th Dec 2015 at Chennai Consulate.
Below are the questions asked by VO.
1. Is this is your fresh H1B
Answered
2. Who is your petitioner
Answered
3. How you got to know about them
Answered
4. What is your Job
Answered
5. What is your roles and responsibilities
Answered
6. Will you work at Client location
i said its in house project
7. what is your annual Salary
Answered
8. What is your qualification
Answered
VO asked all my documents (I-129, 797 B, LCA, etc). he asked me to wait. i waited almost 2 hours.
The same VO called me and issued 221g Blue slip saying they need additional documents from the Petitioner/Employer. Also he returned my Passport back.
Below are the 2 documents they marked in 221G Blue slip.
1. Wage Report
2. Notarlized list of all employees with their names, job roles, Start and end date of their employment etc
I spoke to my Employer and explain the situation. He gave me two option to solve this issue. I need to choose any one of the option from the below now.
1. Employer can provide the additional document, but employer says not sure if consulate still ask other additional forms. he also said since VO gave my passport back is not a good sign.
2. Cancel the existing application and apply for the Visa with new application with the same petition after 2 months
I am totally confused now with the above 2 options provided by Employer. Can any one provide the suggestion on this please.

Time required to receive visa docs from USCIS
Hi all
My H1b RFE docs got approved on 11th Dec( after 3 monhts of wait!!!).
How long does it take to receive the docs from USCIS.
And also could anyone let me know whats the next available date for stamping in Chennai?
Is it necessary that people from Bangalore should go to Chennai for stamping? Will the consolate information be written in i797? Can we choose Hyderabad?
Request for answers on all my questions!!
Thanks a lot in advance!

Re-Interview@ H1B-Hyd Consulate
Hi,
I have attended my Visa interview on Dec 10th at Hyd consulate. During the interview VO asked only three questions like who is your sponsor, who is you end client, and from how many year you are working with your employer. I have answered all the questions and the VO took my Passport and a copy of my i797 and said my visa has been approved.
But today I have received a call saying I have to retake my visa interview. I inquired about the reason but they said the VO wants to retake my interview.
Please share your thoughts and inputs. It would help me a lot. Thanks in advance.
