[ellmoi 0]

hello everyone just want to ask...

1) #32 on Ds-156, it says do you intend to work in the US? my answer is Yes , but don't have employer yet, what would put in the box?

2) # 33 on Ds-156, do you intend to study in the US? i would answer that a Yes too, but don't have school name yet.. what would i put in the box? Some say, just put NO as an answer because it might just conflict with your real purpose in arriving in the US that is to marry your fiance.. so i just put NO? it won't matter if my answer is NO on the form but pursue my studies once i get to the US?

thank you, looking forward to replies - aix

You can answer No and still pursue school once in the US.

For employment I answered 'home duties' on my DS-230 which I guess is the immigrant equivalent. I dont believe it really matters.

Others may have a better answer for you regarding the employment question.....at least now its bumped back to the top

That is a good question indeed, I was reading stuff forward that I´ll have to do as well and I wondered what to put on those, ´cus I plan to study and work, but I won´t have a job or school before I go.

By home duties you meant that you´d be a house wife?

On our DS156, we checked off "yes" for both, working and school. My fiance would like to study part-time after she's there so we didn't want to lie about ANYthing. So for the explanation we wrote "will attempt to gain employment upon receiving authorization" and for the education explanation, we wrote "plan to enroll in advanced degree program, but university is yet unknown."

I don't think it matters too much exactly what you write, I think they just want to know if the alien is going to better themselves in some way and/or be able to assist in supporting themselves financially.
