I am having some confusion while filling up form DS 160 for my F1 visa. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out.
- My name on my passport is "XYZ Khan" but I have previously used my nickname "HJDJASD Mahmud" on different social media accounts. I tried to edit some of them but was unable to gain access to some of them. When people search with my email those social accounts appear.
Now there is a question in DS 160 "Have you ever used other names (i.e. maiden, religious, professional, alias, etc.)?" I was wondering if I need to mention the name "HJDJASD Mahmud" here on this field. or there is no need to include that? Please advise.
- I have been involved in freelance web development since 2020 and later 2021, I met one woman on Fiverr and since then I have been working for her and her company (I didn't receive any formal contract or didn't sign any, just working as an independent contractor) and they have featured me on their website team portion and I use an official email from their company.
Do I need to include this as an employment? Also, do I need to list this official email address in the DS160 form since they ask to enter all used within the last 5 years?
P.S: I also work as a lecturer at a private university and already entered that info. It is not letting me add more than one as present employment. I was wondering if that (work for her company) needs to be added as previous employment. Please advise.
