    There is one question, have you used any other name?
    Should i select yes? if we had different name on older passport as i had just surname earlier but not given name, however, i have given name in my current passport.

    Hi
    Very informative. I have a doubt that I got admit for MS Engineering Management. But in my i20 the major name is Engineering general 14.0101. So what should I fill in the course section in DS160? Engineering Management or Engineering General 14.0101.
    Please reply.

    Hi, I found your video quite informative. I have one doubt: under current employment section, I specified myself as unemployed as I left my job in November 2021. So, in the description box provided below this field what should I specify? Will it affect my Visa approval?
