• Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the reporting burden on 

those who are to respond. 

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The DS–261 allows the beneficiary of 

an approved immigrant visa petition to 

provide the Department with his current 

address, which will be used for 

communications with the beneficiary. 

The DS–261 also allows the beneficiary 

to appoint an agent to receive 

communications relevant to the 

beneficiary’s visa application from the 

National Visa Center (NVC) and assist in 

the filing of various application forms 

and/or paying the required fees. The 

beneficiary is not required to use an 

agent. The NVC can contact them 

directly. If the beneficiary chooses to 

serve as their own agent and have the 

NVC contact them directly, they will 

need to provide the NVC with their 

current contact information. All cases 

will be held at NVC until the DS–261 is 

electronically submitted to the 

Department. 

Methodology 

Applicants will submit the DS–261 

electronically to the Department via the 

internet. Applicants who submit the 

electronic form will no longer submit 

paper-based applications to the 

Department.
