the 10 day rule is worrying me too though my program is insisting to come on 18th and that their letter does help. does ur program also starts orientation before 10 days or considers this for the h1 people . have u seen any resident entering early.

At What Address Will You Stay in The U.S.?[/i] [b]If you are employed in the U.S. (H1B or L1) and maintain an apartment in the U.S., please provide that address and telephone number. [/b] [i]Do You Intend To Work in The U.S.?[/i] [b]B1/B2 Visa:
For visitor visa applicants, this answer must be NO. If you answer 'Yes', you don't meet the basic requirements for a visa. Tourists are not allowed to come to the United States to work.
Even if you are applying for business visa, you have to say 'No'. Business visa holders may attend meetings, plan for future expansion of their business, collect requirements from client for work overseas, but they can't be working in US. [/b] H1/L1 Workers:
Yes H4 Dependents:
No
[i]
Do You Intend To Study in The U.S.?[/i] [b]If you intend to study, provide the name and complete address of school you will be attending. If you are applying for visitor visa, the course you want to study must be shorter than 1 year, maximum period allowed under tourist visa. Also talk to your school whether the course you want to attend requires you to have a student visa. Some people may apply for tourist visa for short or recreational study courses.[/b] [i]

should i write program director's or program coordinator's name [/i] [b]Yes, you should do that.[/b] [i]travel arrangement? i have booked a ticket for 17th june and have an
entry letter addressed to us embassy from the univ signed by program
director. should i show that date . the
