I am filing my DS-160 form for my h1b visa stamping and have an EB-5 I-526 petition pending for approval. How do I answer questions about immigration petition filing on the DS-160 form?

H1B is "dual intent" allowing an immigrant petition to continue or be filed and not affect the H1B. So telling them the I-526 receipt info should be acceptable.

The answer would be in the affirmative, as you have a pending immigrant visa application.

Truthfully disclose the date, service center and type of petition such as I-526 filed September 3, 2021 at the IPO.

Answer truthfully - I-526 pending. H-1B is a dual intent status so won''t hurt you.
