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.
CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT
AUTHORITIES: The information on this form is requested pursuant to Section 212(a) and 221 and as required by Section 222 of the Immigration and Nationality
Act. Section 222(f) provides that the records of the Department of State and of diplomatic and consular offices of the United States pertaining to the issuance and
refusal of visas or permits to enter the United States shall be considered confidential and shall be used only for the formulation, amendment, administration, or
enforcement of the immigration, nationality, and other laws of the United States. Certified copies of such records may, in the discretion of the Secretary of State,
be made available to a court provided the court certifies that the information contained in such records is needed in a case pending before the court.
PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of State uses the information provided on this form to determine an individual’s eligibility for a U.S. visa. Individuals who fail to
submit this form or who do not provide all the requested information may be denied a U.S. visa. Although furnishing this information is voluntary, failure to provide
this information may delay or prevent the processing of an individual visa application.
