DS-160 Not asking for previous employment/education/training

[BiAdam 21]

I'm applying for a tourist visa, and for some reason it is not asking me the previous employment/education/training. We just filled the form for my partner, and he was asked to fill that part. I know this is a bug, and there is a work around to make it visible and actually fill it online. Does anyone know/remember what to do?

Why do you need a tourist visa when you have EAD/AP?  Did you abandon your AOS process?

So the partner you were referring to is not your USC petitioner, right?  Because they wouldn't need a visa either.

 

Anyway, it is not necessarily a bug for the employment section to be skipped.  The DS-160 sections differ for every applicant depending on answers entered in previous sections.  As far as I know, there's no workaround to force the form to display a section that is not applicable or not relevant based on the applicant's known information.  If you do find a loophole that actually works, do let us know here.

Yeah, what I mean is two people filled the same form at the same time. I don't think it is because the answers are different, the other form was filled with almost the same information. The same thing happened to me in 2019 when I was filling DS-260 form, it was again the prev experience. I had to fill the form multiple times until I found the solution, but it worked at the end. I don't want to risk the visa appointment because of a bug in the system.

 

I'm interested in who had the same experience with the form before, whether they found a solution, and if not what happened at the visa appointment. I don't think it's important who is filling the form or why.

Hello! I’m facing the same problem now, can’t add previous job and visited countries with the last 5 years. Did you find a solution to this problem? I have 2 applicants, mentioned that they are travelling together. Did your family have any problems at the interview?
