I am just filling in my DS-156 form my visa interview and am struggling slightly with how to fill in my employment details. I'm worried that if I make a mistake on the form my interview wont go ahead. Obviously, for this reason, I would like to complete all sections correctly.

I work as a web developer and for the past 6 months I have been working on a personal project with the intention to work for myself. The site is online now and I've recently formed the company here in the UK opened a business bank accounts. I was intending to work full time for myself btu have since been offered a job to start in a month. I've already accepted the job offer and my sister has agreed to deal with any enquiries that are generated though my website. I don't see it being very many in the first 6 months as the site is new and therefore wont be ranked highly with the search engines. I can simply work evenings and weekends.

My dilemma is that I don't know how I should complete my DS-156 form. Is my employer my own company or will it be the company where I've accepted the job offer? All I have is an 'offer of employment' - no pay slips as yet.

I'd hate to have waited so long for my interview date and to mess it up by not completing the forms correctly. Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can best complete the form?

Thanks in advance

The DS-156 asks for your "present employer" not your "prospective" or "future" employer.

So, in your case, the answer looks like it is either "none" or "self employed".
