Abstract of Proposed Collection

    Department of State consular officers use Form DS-230 (Application 
for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration), in conjunction with a 
personal interview and other requirements set forth in 22 CFR part 42, 
subpart G, to elicit information necessary to ascertain the 
applicability of the legal requirements to issue an immigrant visa. The 
information requested on the form is limited to that which is necessary 
for consular officers to determine the eligibility and classification 
of aliens seeking immigrant visas to the United States efficiently. A 
consular officer is unable to adjudicate such visas without collecting 
this information.

Methodology

    The DS-230 is available electronically via the internet and is 
downloaded, completed online, printed and submitted to the National 
Visa Center (NVC). The web address where the DS-230 can be accessed is 
http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/forms.html.
