The Immigrant Visa Application Form is a mandatory document required by U.S. federal law for foreign nationals seeking permanent residence in the United States. This form is utilized across various immigrant visa categories, including family-based, employment-based, and special immigrant classifications. The application process falls under the jurisdiction of both USCIS and the U.S. Department of State, requiring careful completion to ensure compliance with the Immigration and Nationality Act and related regulations. The form collects comprehensive information about the applicant's background, including personal history, family relationships, employment history, and security-related questions, serving as a fundamental tool in the U.S. immigration system's evaluation of permanent residence eligibility.
