myself and other members of a group going to the USA to train on a H3B visa, made an error on our DS160. A section of the ds160 stated that we should put a contact person we put the lawyer of the law firm represent our case as a contact and also identify him as our petitioner, even though we stated that we are going to work for our employer and that our employer is the one paying for our trip. I want to know if this error is grounds for denial.
The error would only be ground for denial if there was suspicion that you will not be actually training for the employer as listed on the H3 petition. If you have a proper explanation for the error, it should be accepted. As long as you and the other members of the group exhibit a nonimmigrant intent and are otherwise qualified, you should be issued the visas.

Hello,
This sounds like a simple error which can be corrected at the time of the interview as the lawyer's name would probably be on the Approval Notice, and it should not be grounds for denial. Good Luck.
