Affected Forms

DS-230, Paper Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien

Reason for Form Discontinuation

The Department of State has completed its transition to a fully online immigrant visa application process, and the DS-230 is no
longer used in the field. As such, the Department will no longer renew the DS-230, the paper version of the Application for
Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration.
