The Department of State is transitioning to an online immigrant visa application, effective September 3, 2013. The new online forms replace the paper DS-230 and DS-3032. Only Diversity Visa and Cuban Family Reunification Parole applicants will continue to use the paper forms.
Immigrant visa applicants will now apply online using Form DS-260 (Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration), and applicants will name their agent online using Form DS-261 (Choice of Address and Agent). The forms are available at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/.
