There is a scenario that has to be considered:

1. First, determine how you found out you made a wrong entry.
2. Did you print out a copy for your self to review after it was submitted?
3. Correct the wrong entry on the copy with all information and take with you to interview. Explain you have amended D-160 with corrections. Explain you reviewed the submitted document and made corrections.

If you have no copy that you reviewed and just so found out there was wrong info; after talking to your sister, just take relevant documents that have dates that were denied and explain at interview that denial came to light after the fact.

This is important as officer will determine if its an honest mistake. Don't make too much fuss and DON'T OFFER any other explanation/circumstances unless you are asked a question. Show that you are excited to have the opportunity to visit U.S. and willing to spend lots of money while you're there (shopping, tour, etc).

dear sir
thanks for the reply
yes i took prints of it and was reviewing it in my own time when i found out that i have done a wrong thing. my question is when should i tell the VO(at what moment)?
i already made a call to US consulate telling them the truth. what you say? how i should explain that this happened. apart i want to know what u mean by "not making fuss" and "offering explainations". sir i would be greatful if u offer your experienced comments.
thanks

Follow the advice when you called the consulate.
When you meet the VO, hand him the amended document. Say there is a correction made while you were reviewing them.
That is it. If he ask you questions, keep it simple. and keep a smile.

One warning is whenever there is amended document, it can delay your application.
In U.S., we would send in the Amended document prior to interview.
