Immigration Visa Application Transitioning to Online Format

Posted on August 30, 2013

Share this:

The Department of State is transitioning to an online immigration visa
application on September 3, 2013. Applicants will be able to apply
online using Form DS-260, the Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien
Registration. Applicants can also choose their agent online using Form
DS-261, the Choice of Address and Agent form. These forms can be
accessed at ceac.state.gov.

On September 3, these forms will replace their paper counterparts –
Forms DS-230 and DS-3032. Certain applicants who previously submitted
Form DS-230 may be instructed to fill out Form DS-260. The only
petitioners who will continue to use paper forms are Diversity Visa and
Cuban Family Reunification Parole applicants.
