Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Department requests an extension 

on the collection of following 

information, from a subset of visa 

applicants worldwide, in order to more 

rigorously evaluate applicants for 

terrorism, national security-related, or 

other visa ineligibilities: 

• Travel history during the last fifteen 

years, including source of funding for 

travel; 

• Address history during the last 

fifteen years; 

• Employment history during the last 

fifteen years; 

• All passport numbers and country 

of issuance held by the applicant; 

• Names and dates of birth for all 

siblings; 

• Name and dates of birth for all 

children; and 

• Names and dates of birth for all 

current and former spouses, or civil or 

domestic partners. 

Regarding travel history, applicants 

may be requested to provide details of 

their international or domestic (within 

their country of nationality) travel, if it 

appears to the consular officer that the 

applicant has been in an area while the 

area was under the operational control 

of a terrorist organization as defined in 

section 212(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 

U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B)(vi). Applicants may 

be asked to recount or explain the 

details of their travel, and when 

possible, provide supporting 

documentation. While the Department 

previously required applicants 

completing the DS–5535 to provide 

their social media platforms and 

identifiers, also known as handles, used 

during the last five years, and phone 

numbers and email addresses used 

during the last five years, the form no 

longer includes those fields, which are 

now incorporated into the DS–156 

Nonimmigrant Visa Application, DS– 

160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa 

Application. 

This information collection continues 

implementation of the directive of the 

President, in the Memorandum for the 

Secretary of State, the Attorney General, 

the Secretary of Homeland Security of 

March 6, 2017, to implement additional 

protocols and procedures focused on 

‘‘ensuring the proper collection of all 

information necessary to rigorously 

evaluate all grounds of inadmissibility 

or deportability, or grounds for the 

denial of other immigration benefits.’’ 

Consular posts worldwide regularly 

engage with U.S. law enforcement and 

partners in the U.S. intelligence 

community to identify characteristics of 

applicant populations warranting 

increased scrutiny. The additional 

information collected facilitates 

consular officer efforts to apply more 

rigorous evaluation of these applicants 

for visa ineligibilities. In accordance 

with existing authorities, visas may not 

be denied on the basis of race, religion, 

ethnicity, national origin, political 

views, gender, or sexual orientation. 

Failure to provide requested 

information will not necessarily result 

in visa denial, if the consular officer 

determines the applicant has provided a 

credible explanation why he or she 

cannot answer a question or provide 

requested supporting documentation, 

such that the consular officer is able to 

conclude that the applicant has 

provided adequate information to 

determine the applicant’s eligibility to 

receive the visa. The information 

requested on this form will not be used 

to deny visas based on applicants’ race, 

religion, ethnicity, national origin, 

political views, gender, or sexual 

orientation. 

Section 3 of the President’s January 

20, 2021 Proclamation on Ending 

Discriminatory Bans on Entry to The 

United States, requires the Department
