Will having a mistake on my DS-260 affect my interview?

My interview is next week along with my family. However, my lawyer made a mistake in the form. She checked “no” on “were you previously employed.” Obviously, I was previously employed, as the work I currently do is not the one I did my entire life. What should I do?

Correct the record. Have the information about previous employment and apologize for the error.

Your attorney can request to reopen the DS-260 form online to correct information and re-submit. Otherwise, you should explain this at the interview and you may want to have your attorney do the affidavit to explain the error.

You should be able to correct such a mistake in the consular interview. Make sure to mention it though so it is corrected in your file.

Depending upon the nature of your case, it may or may not be deemed to be material. You could also seek to amend your DS-260 application or, alternatively, at the interview correct the mistake.

You can have that corrected at the interview. Inform the consul of the error and the need to correct the information.

Mistakes are not good, but the one you just pointed should not derail your visa interview. However, due to the fact that your date of interview is fast approaching, be prepared to correct the mistake at the interview. Also, be prepared to provide both oral and documentary evidence to correct the mistake.
