Department of State uses Form DS-157 (SUPPLEMENTAL SIV CHIEF OF MISSION APPLICATION) in order to facilitate the Chief of Mission approval process required for special immigrant visa (SIV) applicants under the AAPA and SISCI. The information requested on the form is limited to that which is necessary for the Chief of Mission to approve SIV applicants. Previously, applicants submitting the DS-157 were required to fill out the DS-160. However, the DS-157 is only being used by SIV applicants for Chief of Mission approval. As a result, SIV applicants are required to submit the DS-260 and not the DS-160 as previously done.
