Hello,

I'm filling in Ds-160 for B1 visa and had some questions, would appreciate your thoughts.

1) I selected Canada as PR of country other than country of origin. In the next section, it prompts for National Identification Number. Is this supposed to be PR number of SIN number? Also i'm confused as this section is tied to US SSN.

2) In travel information, it asks for business conference (b1) or business and tourism (b1/b2). My trip is business but also hoping to use this for future vacations. Is it fine to select b1/b2?

3) Reg specific travel plans. I haven't made the plan yet. Is it fine to mention no with a tentative date and address?

4) In last H1B visa was issued in Mexico but this visa will be applied from Canada. There is a question "Are you applying in the same country or location where the visa above was issued, and is this country or location your place of principal of residence?" I selected no but does this matter in terms of dates etc?

I am struggling with below compound question on the USA Visa D160 form and would appreciate any suggestion on the best answer. This is just a "Yes" or "No" option question:

"Are you applying in the same country or location where the visa above was issued, and is this country or location your place of principal of residence?"

My situation is that I am not applying from same country, hence "No" for the first part of the question. But I am now a permanent resident in Canada, where I will be applying from which makes the second part of the question a "Yes". Hence what should I select on the above compound question?
Appreciate any plausible suggestion. Thanks

You are a PR of Canada, but would Canada be your principal residence? You will live in Canada most of the time?
