SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS FOR VISA APPLICANTS
General Instructions

• If you are unsure of the answer to a question, please provide a response to the best of your knowledge. For example, if you are unsure of an exact address,
provide the city, state, and street name if you can recall them. U.S. Department of State will consider all the information derived from the form in its entirety.
• Failure to answer every question will not necessarily preclude visa issuance, as the application is considered in its entirety.
• If you believe a particular question does not apply to you or your circumstances, please write "not applicable" or "N/A."
• If you need more space to respond to a question, please write the rest of your response on a separate sheet of paper.
• Aside from your name, date of birth, and visa classification, please only provide information not included in your current visa application. For example, if all
of your children are listed in your current visa application (Form DS-160 or DS-260), you do not need to list them again.
