Fix: DS-160 “Not Employed” Validation

Junaid Khan

We fixed an issue in the DS-160 Present Work section that blocked submission when “Not Employed” was selected as the Primary Occupation.

Previously, the form incorrectly required hidden employer details, including employer name, address, phone number, and monthly income.

You can now submit this section without entering employer details when “Not Employed” is selected. The “Explain” field remains optional.

This fix covers Fillvisa Free, Fillvisa OS, Fillvisa Plus, and Fillvisa Team.
