Hi Simon.
I need your advice.
My wife is the winner of DV 2015 and she is working, but now she is on maternity leave for child care and in another country than her workplace location. In ds-260 we reported that she is working at the date of submission, but we did not mention that she is on maternity leave. According to the local legislation she is considered as working even in the maternity leave. She will take a letter from her employer that she is working in the company and is now on maternity leave to present to the Embassy in the interview date (if we ever become current). Do you think it will cause a problem for the interview that though she is working, but on maternity leave and in another country? And we should have mentioned that she is on maternity leave in ds-260? We are not yet current and our CN is around EU39600.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure why think this that is a problem. Between you submitting the DS260 and now things changed - no big deal. Because you are emigrating she is going to leave the job anyway - which is why a current job is never considered "important" from a public charge point of you (other than suggesting whether the selectee will get back to work in the States).
So - no big deal.
