Love to hear some opinions on this.
I have submitted the DS230 and checklist to the embassy and now awaiting the interview. I have stated that I dont have a job to go to upon arriving in the US, (to be determined upon arrival), but have since received a job offer. If I can get the details in writing, would it be worth taking it to the interview. personally I dont see it doing any harm, do you?

Keep in mind that a temporary EAD - which as far as i know - is only available at JFK is valid until you marry. After that you have to apply for a new one. I think it could give them a few wrong ideas if you start to tell them that you want to go to work after you arrive. Especially if you start looking that early. They could guess that you want to start an unauthorized employment which could bring you in trouble.
I would think twice before telling them something like that.

Although I have no knowledge or experience with this, my guess is that it's a bad idea to introduce new evidence at the interview stage. From what I gather here, it's a rubber stamp sort of event where you're asked a few friendly questions and may have to produce originals of documents you photocopied to include with the forms. Why confuse the person behind the window by suddenly telling a new story? It might jeopardize the whole thing when you're only ten seconds away from success.

Jersey Girl,

Apparently you haven't yet come across the many posts from people dealing with the consulates such as Morocco, Nigeria, and some other places.

Even at low-fraud posts it is not a "rubber stamp sort of event", although it may seem that way to those people who have well-documented, approvable cases.

You're right, Yodrak, it will be a different experience around the world. The question comes from Australia, though. Would it be a good idea to mention a job offer at the interview there?
