DS160 for H1b visa, new graduate. Help needed!

Hi,

I have recently graduated from India in July 2016. I got my visa petition approved by my employer with a start date of Oct 3.

I am applying for visa stamping and have following questions:

  1. person/entity paying for trip: I am paying for my own flight tickets and will cover my expenses with my pay from the new employer while in us. In such a case, should it be self or the petitioner?

  2. current employer: I have just graduated and am not working for any company. This will be my first job. I was doing an internship till June 2016 though . Should I put unemployed, student, or what?

  1. Yourself

  2. Is “Not Employed” an option?
