    Default DS-156 Form and Employment History

    Hi,

    I did my PhD in USA and started working as a research associate for the past one and half years. Just after my graduation I worked in a univ for 8 months and left that school and joined another one before completing my 1 year OPT. My OPT ended this match 2007 and I was approved H1B. Now I am going to India this december 07 for visa stamping. Please answer to two of my questions below. Advanced thanks.

    1. Visa guideline documents say that provide employment history, duties and your skills to the visa office during interview. Does that mean, I should provide all the employment letters including the previous ones or just the current one is enough?

    2. While filling up DS156 form online, I filled the item number 15 - current address - I gave my address in India because before going for the interview I was going to stay there for a month. is it correct or wrong?
    After my friend's suggestion I tried changing the address to the current USA address in the saved form but it doesn't let me do so now? Can you please suggest me something to solve my issues.

    Thank you

    Your employment history is somewhat akin to your résumé - where you have worked, when, your job titles, job duties, etc.

    As a student, you would be regarded as having an address at your U.S. location, but also a permanent address at the place you live when you are not in school, which would presumably be the address you listed. I don't think it will affect you that you listed your permanent address in India.
