Clarifications on DS-157

[Ponraj]

Hello
I've two questions on DS157 - need someone to clarify please?

#1
On DS-157 to question#17 (List of educational institutions) I've left the 'Telephone No.' column blank - is this ok? or do I've to specify a number? of couse I can't specify 'none'.
My appointment is confirmed, so in this case, if I'd like to update the doc how do I that?

I mean
- Can I update the doc, after scheduling the appointment?
or
- Can I just manually enter the telephone no. on the hard copy?

#2
To question#18 (have made any specific travel arrangements) I've answered 'No', since I'm planning to book the tickets only after getting the VISA, is this ok or we need to specificy some temporary iternary?
Interview is on November and I've specified tentative arrival date in US as Decmber - so do they expect me to specify about my travel arrangements?

Could someone share your experience pl.?

thanks

for question no 17..leave tel no blank...it does not matter..they will not ask you

for 18..best is to answer NO.... they are really not worried about that

and yes you can modify your application if you filled it online ..you can any no of times .. till 2 days prior to your appt date...


best of luck...
