DS-160 beneficiary changing jobs after DS-160 is submitted

[emfish 2]

Hi there!!

 

We have just gotten our NOA2 a couple of weeks ago and are preparing everything we need to do once our petition has been sent to the consulate. We have not yet filled out the DS-160 but will be doing i'm sure in the next month or so. The problem is, on our initial I-129f I - (beneficiary here in the UK) stated my job and position at my old job, but have since been laid off due to the Coronavirus. I have just been offered a job at an Amazon warehouse for a 12 week period starting next week, but they have warned me they could end the contract at any time as it is a temporary position and the business needs are changing all the time. The DS-160 asks for my current employment situation, should I mention there that I am on a 12 week contract? Or that I have changed jobs since the I-129f? Will it matter if we send in the DS-160 with the Amazon employment information and then I end up being back unemployed before my interview? Will we need to fill out a new DS-160?

 

Thanks for any advice!

Beneficiary employment is insignificant.   Just answer based on facts on the day you submit

The responsibility for the DS-160 is the beneficiary (commonly referred to in the DS-160 instructions as the "applicant"). The information you provide is about the beneficiary. So, if there is employment for the beneficiary then it is listed. When you complete the DS-160 it should as up to date as possible so it is recommended to complete it closer to the interview so that you do not have complete a new form.

 

Here is a tutorial from the embassy in Thailand that will give you a quick overview of what the questions will be asked. It is a little old, so some items have been updated with added information. Use this as a tool to begin learning about the DS-160 before starting.

Hi, thanks for the info but I've filled out a DS-160 5 or 6 times now for various visas so its not the form I am worried about. The question I am asking is whether I would need to complete a new one if my employment changes between submitting DS-160 and my interview or whether I can just let them know on the day of my interview that I am no longer working.

 

Thanks!

You can do either.

Just let them know at your interview. London states in their FAQs that unless something security related  (visited Sudan for example) has changed, do not submit a new form. Unless your job change included something like bomb making, it’s not significant really.
