This is a complex situation that could potentially have significant implications for your immigration process. Here's a concise overview:
1. Discrepancies between official documents and your resume can be problematic in immigration matters.
2. The DS-160 is a government form, and providing accurate information is crucial.
3. Your resume for the green card process should be consistent with other immigration documents.
4. Inconsistencies could raise questions during the green card application process or future immigration proceedings.
5. The severity of the issue depends on the nature and extent of the differences between the documents.
Potential solutions:
1. Carefully review both documents to understand the exact discrepancies.
