Hi Everyone,

I know there have been a lot of questions about the DS-156 and
DS-157 forms. So, I did search the message archive before
asking these questions. Sorry if I missed out the ones that
did answer these questions:

DS-156 form:
Q. 25: Name and Telephone Numbers of Person in US who you will be staying with or visiting for tourism or business
Should I write the Name, Address, etc of the company that I'm
working in or put down my home address here?
Q. 27: What is the purpose of your trip?
Should I just write for work since that's what I'm doing here?

DS-157 form:
Q. 8: Full Name and Address of Contact Person or Organization in the United States.
I have put down the Company Name, Address and Contact Info
in this. Is this correct or do I need to put in something else?

Q. 13: List all Professional, Social and Charitable Organizations to which you belong (belonged) or contribute (contributed) or with which you work (have worked).
Should I put down the university where I completed my studies and the company I'm working for right now? Although there is
Q. 17 that asks me to put down my university info.

Also, I had a couple of general questions:
This is the first time I will be getting my passport stamped with
the H1-B Visa at the Mumbai Consulate. I have scheduled an
appointment from www.visa-services.com which does the
scheduling for Mumbai Consulate. I am in the US right now.
I was confused about one thing - do I have to send all the
paper work that the website mentions (www.visa-services.com)
to them from here or do I have to take them with me when I
go for the interview itself on the date that I have been given
in the interm confirmation?

Agian, sorry If these questions have already been answered and I
missed them. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot in anticipation.
