DS-260 miscellaneous question about skilled labour

[X_P 6]

I'm in the process of filling out the DS-260 form. There is a question in the section "security and background" under "miscellaneous 1" that asks: 

" Do you seek to enter the US for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor but have not yet been certified by the secretary of labour?"

 

I am an licensed electrician in Canada. I do intend to get certified in the US for electical but have NOT been certified by the secritary of labour yet.

So the answer to this would be yes?? 

 

Any input would be great! 

 

Thanks!

If you are applying for a cr1/ir1 visa, your purpose for entering the US is to be with your spouse not to seek work (even though you will obviously be working soon after you arrive). The answer is NO.

 

In all other instances of this question I've seen, this is more to catch out H2-A, H1-B visas.

That DS-260 question is applicable to employment-based immigrant visas like EB-3.
