Listing freelance/contract work on DS-160

[wav_m 84]

I hope this is the right subforum for this topic.

 

When we filed our I-129F, I (the beneficiary) was a self-employed contractor doing content writing work for one company only. I listed that company on the I-129F, filling in my job title as "Contract Content Writer," as it was my sole job at the time. Our I-129F was approved without issue.

 

Since then, I have ended that professional relationship and acquired other freelance jobs. I'm now wondering how to describe my employment on the DS-160. I believe I've been self-employed the whole time, but I'm torn regarding whether I should list the first role (the one I listed on the I-129F) separately from my subsequent self-employment, to avoid creating an obvious discrepancy between the I-129F and the DS-160.

 

I would love to get a steer from anyone else who has filled out the DS-160 while self-employed. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Who says its a discrepancy?  With the significant amount of time between petition filing and the submission of the ds160 people's lives and circumstances do change
