?????ds-230 part 1 questions???????

[NJS]

I was in US on F1 and H1b for nearly 8 years.
Q.1 about VISITS or residence in US - I have been on short vacations - few weeks from US. These are not visits to US but Visits to India. So can i just put general residence in different states on F1 and H1 for those eight years or do I have to say "I left US on x day of y month to x day of z month over eight years"?(this will be a long list.)
Q.2 Does all the work experiences list for the last 10 years have to be substantiated by experience letters ? I do not have experience letters from all the companies that I worked with (atleast not originals).
Q.3 Do we have to send experience leetsers with p3 to nvc?

Techinically yes, especially for the stay in USA part. But practically speaking I guess you can skip it if was just a couplw of weeks kind of thing.

Q.2 Does all the work experiences list for the last 10 years have to be substantiated by experience letters ? I do not have experience letters from all the companies that I worked with (atleast not originals).
Ideally, yes. But normally, they do not need this at the CP stage (these should have been verified at I140, if required.

Q.3 Do we have to send experience leetsers with p3 to nvc?
No
