Hi, i know it sounds stupid but i don't really know how to explain that i am not employed since my son was 4 months. he's 5 years old now .. 

I was in kuwait working, i got pregnant and left kuwait when i was 7 1/2 months pregnant to give birth here in the philippines ..

After a month of giving birth to my son, i decided not to go back in kuwait since my ex (my son's father) asked me to stay with my son ..

i got employed here again but only for 4 months .. then i am full time mom since then ..

can i just answer it simple? like "i am a full time mom since i gave birth to my son" 😐 

any idea will be highly appreciated .. ☺️

Whatever the truth is, must be stated or face a possible denial.

 Embassy doesn't care if you were not employed.  Tell the truth

The US Embassy doesn't care if your employed or not in reality. My asawa was not employed for almost 2 years before she came to the USA all because I told her that she did not have to go back to her job in Qatar but we can work on us. I supported her during that time frame.

Principal applicant is YOU

 

"NOTE: All visitors for business or pleasure are principal applicants, even if you are traveling with your family. If you are coming to the U.S. in a category of visa that permits you to work (e.g. “L” visa), study (e.g. “F” visa), or get married (e.g. “K” visa), you are the principal applicant. You are not the principal applicant if you are accompanying your spouse or parent who is coming to the U.S. in a category of visa that permits them to work, study, or get married."
