August 28, 2013
As of September 3, 2013, the National Visa Center will no longer accept immigrant visa applications on forms DS-230 and DS-3032. All immigrant visa applications will need to use Form DS-260 (Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration), which is completed and submitted online (see ceac.state.gov).
In addition, some applicants who previously submitted Form DS-230 may be asked to submit Form DS-260 as well. Paper forms will continue to be accepted for Diversity Visa and Cuban Family Reunification Parole applicants.
If you have questions about a current or upcoming immigrant visa application, please feel free to email us or set up a consultation.
