You're confused because you are not the person who is supposed to fill this form. The form is for your husband to fill it.

You are filling it for him. You are his agent. Now, pretend you are your husband. Remember, at the end, he is the one who signs it. Pay attention to those since they are the most common RFE (return for errors)

1/ Do not sign part II. Your husband will sign in the interview

2/ Item 20 : the place he's current living : from mm/dd/yy to PRESENT

Make sure to write PRESENT as current date

19. I think he should put his children's name

21. If no children followed him to US, you don't have to fill it. If they are part of your petition, you should list them out

The DS-230 form should contain all information regarding the beneficiary, not the petitioner.

19. List Names, Dates and Places of Birth, and Addresses of ALL Children.

Do you have any children? If so, list their names here. If no, write NONE.

21a. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the United States now.

Did your husband file a petition for anyone else other than yourself? Children? If no, then write NONE.

21b. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will follow you to the United States at a later date.

Do you have any children who will also get their visas based on your husband's petition and will travel at a later date? If no, write NONE.

In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?

Write UNKNOWN.

33a. Have you ever applied for a Social Security Number (SSN)?

This is a clear question. Have you ever applied for a SSN? If no, write NO.

questions 19, 21a and 21b are not about yr husband or his children, as they already are american citizens. question 19 asks if u have any children of your own (they want to know if u have kids that will immigrate with u now or at a later date).if u dont have, write NONE. with 21a they want to know if there is someone else immigrating same time with u, with yr husband being their petitioner too. (as kids or other relatives);they dont ask who will fly with u there, which would be whole plane, not only yr husband. if is just u immigrating, write NONE. question 21b asks if u intend to have someone immigrating later to follow u (as kids, for example).if u dont have any, write NONE. question about occupation, if u dont know what u will work there, write UNKNOWN. but I think would be good to think about it, and make a choice;isnt like u cant change yr mind once there. question 33a is clear. u should know if u applied or not. I assume if is first time u aply for a visa and never been there before, u didnt apply for one before. so answer NO.but u know better. also consult yr husband.good luck

Why should a person answer "unknown" for the intended occupation question? Wouldn't it help your case to answer something universal like retail or food service?

I can't wait to get this form...
