DS-260 requires incorrect employment information to be reopened?

After submitting the DS-260, many applicants discover that they have provided incorrect employment information such as company name, working hours or title. This makes many people worry about whether they need to reopen their records or not.

Common errors on DS-260

Job information is often incorrect in the following areas:

* Incorrect company name.

* Wrong job start or end time.

* Declaring a lack of a previous job.

* Incorrect title entered.

* Incorrect workplace address.

Should I reopen DS-260?

This depends on the level of error.

Small mistake

For example:

* Wrong spelling of company name.

* A few days error in working time.

* Missing information is not important.

These situations can often be explained during an interview.

Important errors

If related to:

* Work history.

* Period of unemployment.

* Information affecting application review.

* Jobs in state agencies or the military.

You should contact NVC for instructions on reopening your DS-260 if necessary.

Does it affect the interview results?

Usually, consular officers are more interested in you being honest and proactive in correcting mistakes than they are in a small data entry error.

Intentionally concealing or not declaring the truth is a factor that can seriously affect the file.

What should I prepare for an interview?

* Accurate job listings.

* Employment confirmation (if any).

* Social insurance records or related documents.

* Brief explanation if errors are found.

How to limit errors?

Before submitting the DS-260, you should:

* Check your entire work history.

* Compare with personal profile.

* Check the date in the correct format.

* Reread all information before clicking Submit.
