What is Form DS-5355?

In this video immigration attorney Joshua Goldstein demystifies the new U.S. visa protocol, Form DS-5535. Introduced to enable stringent social media vetting, Form DS-5535 requires U.S. visa applicants to provide comprehensive information about their social media accounts, email addresses, and a 15-year detailed biographical history.
Learn how this new protocol may impact the visa application process and possibly lead to visa denial due to unintentional mistakes. We discuss the scope of this form, its connection with President Trump's policies, its effect on Indian students and the U.S. economy, and the efficacy of the form from a security perspective.

1st comment. Thanks Josh just filled up my ds5535 and submitted it even though they haven't told me to do so for my wife's 5 year admin processing case. They do ask the same questions on the DS 5535 , might as well fill it and send it

[@mianusmanahmed]

5 years in administration processing?

[@quotesandpoetrybyrose6794]

Did u get visa

[@EmranAlokozai]

I wanted to mention that my case type is SIV and I had a question that I filled out the DS-5535 form online, but I wrote my case type (IV) in the visa type/classification section. Is this a problem or not?

My Canadian fiancé and I thought we’d be approved when he went in for his interview on May 23rd in Montreal. The officer told him he was approved but he received an email the next day asking him to respond the questions in the DS 5535. It’s been almost 2 months since he responded back with an email. We emailed the Consulate in Montreal once my father had an extreme medical emergency asking if they could expedite his administrative processing but they didn’t even respond. If we dont get a response by the 90 day mark, would you advise in a writ of mandamus lawsuit?

[@MahnoorBhatti]

We started the immigration process by submitting our petition in August 2021

My parents went for an immigrant visa interview in June 2023 in Islamabad. They received 221g yellow slip, and asked them to submit ds5535 as soon as possible and returned their passports. We submitted the form next day. We filled their petition in December 2019. Please guide us that how many months we should wait for mandamus action?

[@albaqobe]

Where can I find the form? the one I found online says expired on the top

[@ImmigrationStation4U]

Visit the U.S. Department of State's official website. They provide various forms and instructions related to visa applications. If you're having trouble finding the most current version of the DS-5355 form on the official website, consider reaching out to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you'll be applying for your visa. They can provide guidance on obtaining the correct form for your medical examination.
