Currently, the online application and paper application are approved under two separate collections. With this renewal, the Department seeks to combine these into a single collection. Upon approval, the Department will seek to discontinue OMB Control Number 1405-0018, the existing collection for form DS-156. As a result of the additional questions detailed below, the Department is increasing its burden estimate by 15 minutes to accommodate the additional time a visa applicant will spend completing the collection. This and a slight increase in the number of forms received resulted in an overall burden increase for the collection.
