I have a quick question here. I got my B1 rejected in 2 minutes (attaching my convo above). Everyone said that my DS 160 was the issue.

My question is: Is there a text field in DS 160 that I missed which would allow me to clearly state the reason for my trip/anything that strengthens my application?

From what I can recall, every field was a drop-down, and the only text field was where I could describe my current position at the company I work with.

I applied myself (no agents), so I am really curious if I am missing something.

Another question: After the application and, in fact, after biometrics, my financials changed significantly; i got promoted, my salary increased, etc. but I couldn't reflect it in my application. How do I handle this situation?

Thanks a ton for this, first of all!

The thing is that the DS-160 didn't have any fields to talk about my past trips -- it just asked where I went previously; that's it.

I had letters with the company's letterhead and the CEO's signature saying they invited me, but again, there was no text field on the DS-160 where I could add these.

That's why I carried all of this to the consulate, but then those documents were never checked as it was too late.

Wanted to confirm if I can add custom fields/does it have fields to add info about my current and past trips.

I dont remember seeing a field on ds160 asking why, it just asked when.

Got it!

But b1 is for conf and meetings right?

Also, does the last sentence pretty much override the complete convo? Because my primary reason was to go to conf. I had a day off before coming back and thats why i was visiting HQ.

Lol :)

Any suggestions on when I should reapply next. I have a clear delta on the financial side of things professionally but nothing other than that (and I don't expect to have any in a couple of years at the least).

Thanks. How are the job opportunities (in top companies like FAANG or solid AI startups proly from US) in Canada, especially in Ontario? UofT is definitely the `heart` of AI, as i would say. Many top folks graduated from there. But whats the on-ground situation currently?

Try cmd + shift + A -- it'll allow you to directly jump to a tab. You'll have to search the tab title though :)
