DS 160 query - Help Needed

[Monnuaggarwal]

Hi ,

I already resigned from my employment in India. I have got my fresh H1 petition approved for a new US employer just recently. Now i am due to take a Visa interview at consulate and really confused what to fill out in section "Present Work" in DS 160 form.

Shall i fill in "Unemployed" and as an explaination "in between jobs"
Or
Shall i fill in "Other" and as an explaination "in between jobs"
Or
Shall i show my new US employer as a Present Work Organization. If yes what should be the Start Date.

Few Specifications:
US Employment Offer Letter and Agreement Letter Dated: Feb-10-2011
US Employer Invite Letter : Dated 11-Aug-211
India Employment Resignation Dated - 02-Aug-2011

Thanks

I am in the same boat as you. But I did fill up the DS160 as "Not Employed" or "Unemployed" (whatever the option was) and explained that I was between jobs.

Kindly guide me out in preparations for the interview or if you may share your your interview experience.

Thanks.

Initially couple of weeks I would be staying at a hotel(temp. accomodation) arranged by my employer, and then will need to arrange for my own accomodation say a rented apartment or so.
