I have approved I-140 from old employer and going to H1B visa stamping with New employer H1B petition.
I accidentally answered NO to the question on DS-160 form “Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services?”
My employer visa team is saying fill up new DS160 form , select option YES (provide old employer approved I-140 details ) and explain at biometrics that this mistake is corrected so that they will consider new DS-160 barcode.
Can you please confirm does office at biometrics will accept new DS160 barcode with this small change ?
Could you please help here if I fill up new DS160 and explain at biometrics which DS160 VO officer will see during interview ?
Does this small mistake will cause 221-g in my case ? I know during interview VO will not give chance to me explain regarding this mistake.
Please share your inputs here. Thanks so much.
Hi @jeet022
Your immigration team has suggested you the correct path. Edit the DS160 and there should be no issue.
Form 221g can be issued for anything or nothing. It depends on the visa officer as to how he perceives your case.
Do not worry. This is normal and many people make this mistake. You are not the first one.
Hi Jeet!
did you got the visa with out 221-g after submitting both old and new DS160?
I also did a same mistake. I am worrying a lot about it.
Please try to reply this, your reply will give me lot of relief.
Thank you
If you updated DS-160 with right as well as up-to-date details and submitted it, you have nothing to worry. Hopefully you got your profile updated while submitting it.
Thank you Pankaj for your reply.
I created new DS160S, then called US consulate in India, they were able to replace old DS160s with new DS160s into my existing appointment.
I got the appointment letter having new DS160 numbers.
Problem solved!
