F1 visa renewal on OPT before joining employer

[vbhanu]

Hi,

 

My situation is as follows:

1. I have graduated from my school
2. My OPT applicaiton has been approved and I have the EAD card
3. F1 visa is expired
4. I have a job offer where my joining date is on August 17

I am planning to renew my visa before I join the job. In DS160 they ask for current and past employment but nothing about future employment. I am confused about how to mention details of the job offer I have.

 

In the DS160 form, what should I mention as my current employer? And, how can I mention my job offer in the DS160 form?

 

Please suggest what I can do here.

 

Thanks!

You cannot. You just need to leave it as not applicable. It is not guaranteed that you will get a F1 visa after you graduated even though you have an approved EAD.
