RESUBMITTING APPLICATIONS WITH ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION

All incomplete cases (prior refusals) being returned to the State Department, Visa Office, (CA/VO/P/D) for processing will be treated as new applications and will start at the beginning of the reissuance process. If you do not have time to complete the processing in the United States, you should pursue your application at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate when you are abroad.

The OF-156 (Nonimmigrant Visa Form) will not be returned with your other supporting documents. Therefore, be sure to include a new completed and signed OF-156 with photograph when you resubmit the complete application packet.

To ensure proper processing of your application, you must enclose the following documents:

• Attached cover/refusal letter

• Evidence of fee payments

• Completed and signed OF-156 form with photo

• Supporting documents (including previously missing items)

• Self-addressed stamped envelope and/or pre-paid airbill for commercial courier service

The reapplication should be mailed to:

Department of State
CA/VO/P/D
2401 E Street, N.W.
Room L-701
Washington, D.C. 20522-1016
