DS160- employment question


rpf

Recommended Posts

I was on H1b for my entire 6 years in US and it expired by the start of march 2021. I couldn't extend my stay since my PERM was pending. I moved back to India and was patiently waiting for the H1 extension to be applied for after my I-140 and PERM approval. During this waiting period I wasn't employed. Now that I have all of them approved I would like to go for a visa stamping. However when I was trying to fill out the DS160 , it seems like I have to provide the current employment details. Would I be able to get my visa approved if I mark it as "Not employed" and provide the reason in DS 160 or the success rate for it to get approved is meagre or depends on the VO's choice ?

It depends on thousands of other factors but honesty and facts are the top most.

Please do yourself a favor and state the "facts" only, do not lie on any govt application forms.
