Thanks!! Thought so but wanted to make sure. DS260 was a pain! We saved after every page at every opportunity and thank goodness we did because it probably crashed about 5-8 times. Some pages we had to redo though when it would crash before we could save a page. It’s such a mess!!

That’s weird. On ours, under “work / education / training” category, right under previous jobs it asked, “have you attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?” and we said yes and then put in my husband’s secondary education information

This is so bizarre. I just checked thru my printed application, and there is no category for employment or education.

I got really worried thinking i missed something, but i found on the government's website that it's only asked if you meet certain conditions:

 

''Previous Work/Education/Training Information Page: Displayed for all applicants who meet one of the following criteria:

•The applicant is male and age is between 14 and 60

•The applicant is over the age of 14 and is from Burma, China, Cuba, India, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, or Stateless

•The applicant is retired, not employed, or is a homemaker

•The applicant is a principal applicant and is applying for any of the following visa classes: E11, E12, E13, E21, E31, E32, EW3, SD1, SR1, SE1, C51, T51, SI1, SQ1, SF1, SG1, SH1, SJ1, SK1, SN1, R51, and I51, DV-1.''
