Abstract: DHS collects this information to process nonimmigrant visa bonds. A visa bond is a payment made to ensure that the bonded individual meets their obligations to the U.S. government. Posting a visa bond is required before certain visas can be issued. We use the information you provide to post, manage, cancel, or address any breach of the visa bond, and to handle related financial activities, including returning the bond amount when requirements are met.

Emergency Justfication: The emergency request seeks immediate approval for a new Immigration Bond (Visa) Form because an unanticipated event has occurred: the visa bond pilot program is ending and confusion with the current form is causing delays and public harm. The information is essential for DHS to enforce immigration laws, protect national security, and ensure proper visa issuance and compliance. Delaying approval would risk public safety, disrupt visa processing, and hinder foreign policy objectives.
