The Department of State consular
officers use Form DS-3052 in conjunction with Form DS-156
(Nonimmigrant Visa Application) to elicit information necessary to
determine the eligibility of aliens seeking nonimmigrant V visas to
enter the United States. Consular officers are unable to approve
such applications without the information collected on the
DS-3052.
The adjustment indicated
reflects a decrease in the number of respondents. The V visa
program was intended to provide relief to individuals who were
awaiting approval of their immigrant visa petitions. Many of the
qualified applicants have already filed for a V visa, thereby
decreasing the number of applicants.
