DS-160 Were you previously employed?

[helloeveryone7218]

Hi,

I had a gap of 3 years between my B-Tech and Masters, at the time of F1-Visa interview in DS-160 I showed up some experience to cover the gap.

I had my H1-B approved and planning for stamping in India. My employer when filing my H1-B did not put that old experience which I showed up in India.

Below are my questions.

Can I exclude the India experience while filling in new DS-160?

Would consulate check old F1 DS-160 at the time of interview?

Please suggest whether I can answer Yes/No for "Were you previously employed" question in DS-160.

Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks!

You cannot put experience in DS-160 which you don't have. Ignore the F-1 DS-160.
