Post-ITA, need help for personal history

[SylviaAltor]

Hello everyone, I just received my ITA and started my application. When filling out the form of personal history, I have some uncertain parts.

1. I calculated my EE score based on my working history in my home country, but actually have one more year of working experience in the US before. I didn't calculate that part before ITA, because I know my home country working experience will turn to 3 years soon and an employment letter from US is too hard to obtain now. But now it seems I need to put everything in personal history. Should I explain why I didn't include US working experience in the letter of explanation? And do I have to find employment letter to demonstrate that part too?

2. During the time of my trip aboard (mostly 2 weeks), how should I put in my personal history?

3. If I volunteered for 2 weeks in Africa through IVHQ, should I use "organization" under personal history and also put this in trip history?

4. I studied and worked in the US for 2.5 years. Should that stay only in my personal history or in trip history too?

I know it's a lot to ask. I would appreciate any help! Thank you!

1) You can stick to your present employment information and just add brief explanation in LOE ,since any expericne above 3 years has the same equivalency i haven't uploaded my US work experience ,hence mentioned in Personal history .

2) Question not clear

3) Yes, personal history is basically to check what have you been doing in last 10years time line . Travel history column must also have all the details about your journeys (home country / country of residence excluded)

4) Yes in both .Personal history as well as Travel history . And as your stay was above 6 months , you also need to provide PCC .

Thank you very much! The second question is, for example, during my hometown work experience period 2017.1-2017.12, I traveled to Korea for 2 weeks. I'll put it in my travel history, but how should I do with my personal history? Should I just input "Work experience 2017.1-2017.12", or "Work experience 2017.1-2017.10, Work experience 2017.11-2017.12" and put my travel as something else in between?

It won’t be a problem. Thy won’t look into those 2 weeks

In work experience just keep it as 01/01/2017 - 31/12/2017

In Personal history just add the 2 weeks trip and mention it as Business Trip

If it's just vacation, should I mention that in personal history as well?

No... you don’t have to mention any in personal history if it just a vacation or a personal trip
