Vivekhv Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hello, My wife is on H4 visa, she holds valid EAD and works as a freelancer from home in the US. There are no employment documents like Pay Stubs, Offer Letter, W2, 1099 etc. The payment is made online based on hours worked per week. Taxes are paid under section Self Employment as there is no 1099 available. This is done as advised by Tax consultant. She is appearing for Visa Interview in June. Question: What should be selected in Occupation on DS 160? Also please advise what additional supporting documents are needed. Option 1: OTHER and enter our home address under employer address and average monthly income Option 2: NOT EMPLOYED and in the 'Explain' field will mention it as currently not employed because she will not be working while in India and if required will discontinue work with immediate effect if this is going to cause a problem during interview. Please advise. Thank you, Vivek Quote Link to comment
rohit369 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just mention others and explain what she exactly does as a freelancer. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 If you use option 2, she will not get a visa. Just stick to what she does . Quote Link to comment
AbhinavSaldi Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Hi @Vivekhv I hope you are doing great. I have got into a similar situation. With the solution offered in this thread by @rohit369 & @pontevecchio, I would like to choose "other" option. Doing so portal asks me details with salary and additional informations w.r.t. employment. Could you please share your experience how it went and would choosing other option help today? Thanks, Abhinav Quote Link to comment
