Hello Raj,

I mentioned yes in the question on the DS-156 about immigration application being filled. Had no problems with the stamping. You can read my post under "Feb Stamping in Ottawa"
 
Hello Raj,

I also have my Labor pending in Chicago.
I wrote yes in the DS-156 application form for the
Question Number :36 in DS-156
Has anyone Ever filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf? If Yes, Who?
I had asked the question to my lawyer. She had said I should say yes. and mention my company's name. Even if applying for Labor is not filling for immigration it is an essential step without which you cannot file for an employment based Green Card.
Note: While applying for an H-1 you are allowed to have the intent to immigrate.
I had no problems with the stamping.
You can read about my experience under "FEb Stamping in Ottawa"
