DS-230 Employment History

[bobby_kvisa 7]

On the DS230 Question #32 asks for 10 years of employment history.

For periods of time where my wife was unemployed is it acceptable to put "N/A" for the Employer and Job Title and put "Unemployed" for the Title?

My wife got her first job in 2006 - but before that she was in school getting her degree. To fill the gap of the complete 10 year history, does there need to be an entry stating that she was a Student for several years?

Also, to be quite exact my wife finished her degree in mid-2005 but did not get her first job till 2006. So in this case does the entry need to capture all of that information (example: Student until mid-2005, Unemployed till 2006, Employed starting 2006 ???)

Thanks for any help !

If it is askinng for employeement history, put only employeement history --- plain and simple.

Education is not considered employeement, so if she started her first job in 2006 then your employeement history should start from 2006 onwards.

Hey friends,I didn't put any employment history at the time of i130 filing.DS230 is asking for last 10years employment history. If I put any employment history here will it be a problem to my processing.Thanks for your reply in advance

Shouldn't be a problem. Fill in the DS-230 accurately and any discrepancies can be explained at the interview (if it even comes up.) Good luck!

Hey friends is there any benefits by adding employment history in DS230.Is this data going to avail in any public profile in USA like an employment history which can be accessed by social security number,something like this? Sorry If I asked a foolish question...

John - if u try to hide things with US govt, that will catch up with you one day you cannot escape that. My opinion would be always be honest and complete all the form as accurately as you can.

Why do you want to hide your previous employeement, thats beyond my understanding.
