DS-230: "In what occupation do you intend to work in the US ?"
As part of my immigration application process, I have just received a DS-230 form. This contains a question "In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States ? "

1. I'm not sure what work I'll do once I get to the US, so can I leave this blank or is it a better idea to write something here ?

2. If we should not leave the field blank, I was wondering what I should write here. I am a law student .

- if i write i want to work as a lawyer., they might not want more lawyer. in the US ... because as it is there are a lot of unemplyeed lawyer in the US as present.
- If I write i want to pursue higher studies, they might just ask me to apply for a student visa.

Anyone have any ideas/clues on how I can answer this question ?
One possible answer I can think of is "research (industry or academic) or consulting"

Any thoughts on the matter will be appreciated, Thanks !
 
Why don't you just write the truth?
Lawyers can make a very good career here, so if you want to be a lawyer and specially if you are currently studying law, go for it.
Btw studying is not prohibited when you get your green card)) but the question asks you about work not studying. I would put a "lawyer". Don't see any reason for them to offer you student visa instead a green card)
 
yeas but to be a lawyer i need to study and the question what i'am doing as a job , so i'am not going to work as lawyer when i ll arrive
 
You will not be able to get a lawyer job right away. You will need to complete your studies here first. Law in your country is different from the Law here. You will probably get few classes transferred but most of them you will have to take here. When you are done with your school and get your lawyer licence you can become a lawyer here.

write a job for the interview... like they said, once you get through the customs at the airport, you're on your own... write a job & in usa just study
 
i would put "a lawyer" now and if the officer would like to clarify that question he will ask you that on the interview and you will tell him something like "I plan to be a lawyer but while I study I will work part time at Starbucks ". But if you put "Coffeshop assistant" in your application... you know what i mean))) I would follow Dont Ask. Dont Tell Policy. That's what I think, get other people opinions though
