we do have a member that got this and it will involve a long investigation after submitting the form

 

n a May 4, 2017 Federal Register notice [82 FR 20956], the Department of State (DOS) proposed creating a new form to standardize the collection of additional information from immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants "who have been determined to warrant additional scrutiny in connection with terrorism or other national security-related visa ineligibilities." The form was designated as Form DS-5535, Supplemental Questions for Visa Applicants. In the Federal Register notice, 

  On 6/14/2017 at 5:55 PM, MXcompadre said:

In March 2017 the DHS introduced Form DS-5535.  They can request/require any USA Visa applicant to complete the form,  Does anyone have ant input as to the frequency of this form being required of applicants at any of the Consulates or USCIS interviews, or at POE?  Any/all comments much appreciated. Our CR-1 Immigration Visa interview appointment is scheduled for Friday, 7 July 2017 at the  Ciudad Juarez Consulate.  Thank you for any/all input,  feedback, and actual experiences comments.  

If DOS determines a visa applicant warrants additional scrutiny, the applicant would be instructed to provide the following information on Form DS-5535:

• 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;
• Names and dates of birth for all current and former spouses, or civil or domestic partners;
• 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.
•  

DOS estimates in its Federal Register notice that "0.5% of U.S. visa applicants worldwide, or in the range of 65,000 individuals per annum, will present a threat profile, based on individual circumstances and information they provide, that will lead U.S. consular officers at posts around the world
