the person is accepted in 1 year study in US school abroad of which last 2 months of program are actually in USA , work experience in charity organisation several years but not as fully registered employee(so no pay slips) and job will be terminated because of study before makng applicaton for visa, owns appartment,has funds, has family and also family in usa..maybe better leave out the employment from ds160 application form(although it was mentioned in the school application but do not know if visa oficer minds that) if rest is enough for proof of residence for f1 visa?
Because immigration law says

(maybe relevant if proof of employment is considered additional supporting documantation)
(CT:VISA-1363; 10-28-2009)
b. Unlike immigrant visa (IV) applicants, nonimmigrant visa (NIV) applicants
are not required to submit extensive documentation in support of their
cases. You should carefully consider the necessity of requesting or
considering additional supporting documentation. If local documents are
unreliable, easily and often forged, or otherwise implausible, you should
consider the utility of requiring them of applicants as they add no value to
the NIV adjudication. Remember that the burden of proof for establishing
eligibility for the NIV classification lies with the applicant

(also relevant in case of information put in ds160 is eventually deemed as "material" misrepresentation)
CT:VISA-1334; 10-05-2009)
In order to sustain a finding of materiality, it must be shown
that the information foreclosed by the misrepresentation was
of basic significance to the alien's eligibility for a visa. The
information concealed by the misrepresentation must, when
balanced against all the other information of record, have
been controlling or crucial to a final decision of the alien's
eligibility to receive a visa. For example, if an alien was trying
to establish ties abroad by submitting false evidence of
particular employment in an effort to establish nonimmigrant
status and it appeared that the alien had other ties meriting
favorable consideration, the misrepresentation would not be
considered to be material unless you can state categorically
that, if the true state of affairs had been known, no (student)visa could
properly have been issued.

maybe do not leave out but then problem if they do go about checking ?
 
They define curricular practical training as "alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum which is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school."

The student must have been lawfully enrolled on a full-time basis for one academic year before being eligible for CPT. An exception exists for graduate students whose programs require immediate participation in an internship, a practicum, or other employment. It is available only while the student is in valid F-1 status and before the completion of his/her program.
 
thanks but to rephrase..

the person applies for study is US school abroad and end of program is
actually in USA ,has work experience in charity organisation several
years but not as fully registered employee(so no pay slips) and that job will be terminated because of the
study starting before making application for visa, owns apartment,has funds,possible
employment offer upon return, has family and also relatives in US



-Maybe put employment in ds160 because it does not really matter
(immigration law"In order to sustain a finding of materiality, it must
be shown that the information foreclosed by the misrepresentation was
of basic significance to the alien's eligibility for visa)?



-Or leave it out but that would be risky because it might be a case of
misrepresentation to obtain "other(than visa)benefit" in this case the
form I-20 (result of application to school with employment filled in
supposing anyone cares to look at it)
