A:
When completing the DS-160, it's important to ensure that all information matches your official documents. Since your experience certificate from firm X lists your title as "Systems Engineer," you should use this title on the DS-160 form. Consistency with official records helps avoid any discrepancies that might raise questions during the visa processing.
Using the title "Systems Engineer" aligns with the documentation that the consular officers will review. Even though you used "Data Engineer" on your resume for firm Y's petition, the DS-160 should reflect the official title from your previous employer. This approach maintains transparency and accuracy in your application.
If there is an opportunity to provide additional information or explanations, you can mention that you sometimes use "Data Engineer" to align with job openings. However, the primary title listed should match your official experience certificate. This strategy helps ensure a smooth visa application process without unnecessary complications.
