---- It is in your interest to be employed and continue to be employed. The reason being sometimes the Visa processing may take longer than expected times and you will be stuck doing nothing. You have to wait till your Visa is processed, stamped and handed over to you

subra, so it is not compulsory to be employed at that time of stamping.

It is in your interest to be employed or not. The US consulate is not much concerned about it. they only verify your credentials, job offer, job suitability etc. of you and the employer
