Primary occupation for the US visa - student or professional?
I'm going to the US this May for an official event for students (ACM ICPC World Finals). I have a host invitation, I even have my name written in some special lists for the consulate.
Also, though being a student, I'm now part-time employed. I don't know what to write in a visa form as my primary occupation: student or worker? If I select that I'm a student then I cannot enter my job information (only option is previous job, and the date of dismission must be not later than today); same for vice-versa.
What is important that I'm working as a software engineer, and specialists in this area sometimes attract additional attention. Thus not filling job information may look really suspicious.
As of now I mentioned that my main occupation is a student and filled my current job as a previous job (with current date as a dismissal date), leaving a comment that in fact I'm still employed.
What should I answer to this question? It seems that I have to write incorrect or incomplete information in either way.
