Korean Language On-line U.S. Visa Application Available

April 20, 2004

Applicants for nonimmigrant visas (NIVs) may now apply using a Korean language, on-line electronic application form (DS-156, E-form). The new Korean E-form can be filled out on the Internet and then printed with a bar code that will help us process applications faster and more accurately. We encourage all NIV applicants to use this easily accessible web-based form. It is now available at:

DS 156 (English) or 
DS 156 (Korean)

Please complete, print out and submit all three pages of the E-form with your passport and other documents when applying for an NIV.

All other NIV application procedures remain the same. For further guidance on using the new Korean E-form or any other aspect of NIVs please refer to our websites, www.asktheconsul.org (English) or www.usavisas.org (Korean).
