c. Has any one filed an immigrant petition on behalf with the USCIS? (As this is my first time to apply this visa but I had traveled to US on B1/B2 Visa in 2010 for 180 days)---- Answer
Akhil: B1/B2 are non immigrant visa, hence reply no here.

d. In contact person section, the Relationship to you?--- Options are 1. US petitioner 2. Employer. 3. etc (what is the correct answer for this)----- Answer
Akhil: Make this as 'US Petitioner' and provide the details of your petitioner accordingly.

2. About the H1B fee.

Akhil: The fees would have already been paid (while applying for the transfer by your petitioner). You just need to pay 190$ for the interview.
Ask your petitioner for the proof of the fees paid (he should send out the scanned copies to you)

3. Documents Required at the time of interview from Employer.
As of now my employer had sent me original approval notice I797 along with Offer letter. What other documents required from the employer?
as i see some Experience of H1b Visa interview on this site some people were asked for LCA & I129 .

Akhil: Docs include: Original i797, Offer Letter, LCA, Client letter, SOW, i129, US Petitioner financial statements etc.

Thanks a lot for the answer akhil. Appreciate the help.
have some more doubts below.

Akhil I agree with your 3 ans in 1 DS 160 Form
but i think the ans for this below question would be "employer" as we are specifying the name of the contact person and the question is in the US contact section so I think it may be asking the Contact person relationship to me as he not the petitioner what do you think, Please correct me if i am wrong.
d. In contact person section, the Relationship to you?--- Options are 1. US petitioner 2. Employer.

2. For Visa fee.
I also think in the same way. just wanted to know from people who recently applied.

3. For Documents
I have Original I797 and Scanned Offer letter and i will be working in the employer office so i think i don't need any client letter,
but for SOW, i129, US Petitioner financial statements etc. and LCA are all these Documents Do i need because mine is fresh Petition not an extension.
Please suggest/guide
Thanks in advance
