• If you are experiencing technical issues with our Form Filler, download a PDF and complete your form by hand.
• Go to the U.S. embassy or consulate page if you are applying in a foreign country. 

Reminders for Printing Your Application

• Make sure the image of the application covers the entire page.
• Use vertical, portrait format. Do not print your form horizontally. Doing so will cause delays with your application.

• The only handwritten marks we accept for the Form Filler are your original signature and date.
