I am currently in the U.S. in H1B status, but plan on traveling to India soon to apply for stamping. While filling out the DS-160 form, it asks for my address. Should I use my U.S. address or my address in India?

Answer

If you are completing the DS-160 while in the U.S., you should use your U.S. address as your current address and your Indian address as the mailing address.

If you are in India when filling the form, you can list your Indian address for both; or it is acceptable to use your U.S. address as your current address and your Indian address as the mailing address. (11.Dec.2024)
