NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS
Forms


Non-Immigrant Visa Application Form DS-156 – to be completed by all non-immigrant visa applicants.


To provide better customer service and speed-up visa processing, the Consular Section now requires all non-immigrant visa applicants to complete the online DS-156 Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF). Detailed instructions regarding how to fill out and print the EVAF are provided on the EVAF webpage. You must print and bring ALL 3 pages of the completed EVAF including the barcode with you to your visa interview. A Spanish version of the EVAF form and instructions on how to fill it out and print it may be found here.

The EVAF program will not allow applicants to save their data; therefore, when you exit the EVAF website, all applicant data will be lost. Consequently, it is important that all pages are reviewed, printed and checked for clarity at the time of form completion. You must print all three pages of the EVAF on a laser or ink-jet printer. Each page must be printed in its entirety, and the bar codes must be printed in a clear and legible format so that they can be read by our scanners. If you present an EVAF form on your appointment date that is incomplete, printed on a non-laser or ink-jet printer, or which has an unreadable bar code, you may be required to leave the Consular Section and fill out a new EVAF that conforms to our requirements.

NOTE: A preference in interview appointment scheduling will be given to applicants submitting the EVAF. The Consular Section will offer interview appointments to applicants submitting non-EVAF or handwritten DS-156 Forms only on the third Thursday of each month. The EVAF requirement applies to all non-immigrant visa applicants. If you are unable to access the EVAF form, click here to use the Non-Electronic Visa Application Form. At the time that you make your visa appointment, be sure to tell the operator that you will not be using the EVAF.

The DS-156 is a sworn statement and all questions should be answered. A separate form must be filled out for every person traveling, including children.

Additional forms:

  • Supplemental Nonimmigrant visa application (DS-157) to be completed by all male applicants who are between 16 and 45 years old.
  • Supplemental Contact Information and Work History for Nonimmigrant Visa Applicant (DS-158) to be completed by all applicants seeking a F, J, or M visa.
    See the What to Bring, Supporting Documents and Visa Types sections for other requirements pertaining to specific visa categories.
