I am aware of and consent to the following: the collection of the data required by this application form and the taking of my photograph are mandatory for the examination of the visa application. Any personal data concerning me which appear on the visa application form, as well as my photograph, will be supplied to the relevant authorities and processed by those authorities, for the purposes of a decision on my visa application. Such data as well as data concerning the decision taken on my application will be entered into, and stored in a database. The controller is the Consular Post at which the visa was applied for. Data shall be accessible to the visa authorities and the authorities competent for carrying out checks on visas at external borders and in Spain, immigration and asylum authorities for the purposes of verifying whether the conditions for the legal entry into, stay and residence on the territory of Spain are fulfilled, of identifying persons who do not or who no longer fulfil these conditions, of examining an asylum application and of determining responsibility for such examination.

I am aware that I have the rights of access, correction and deletion of personal data relating to me and the right to object to the processing thereof, pursuant to the provisions contained in the Ley Orgánica 15/1999, de 13 de diciembre, de Protección de Datos de Carácter Personal, by addressing a request to the Dirección General de Asuntos y Asistencia Consulares of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation; calle Ruiz de Alarcón 5, 20871 – Madrid (Spain).

I declare that to the best of my knowledge all particulars supplied by me are correct and complete. I am aware that any false statements shall lead to my application being rejected or to the annulment of a visa already granted.

I am aware that once the visa request has been submitted, a copy of the form, sealed with the indication of the date and place of reception, shall be returned to the applicant and that arrangements can be made with the applicant as to the channel to request corrections or the supply of documents or certificates, as well as to serve notice of summons and to notify the decision adopted in due course. Notices and requests shall be served by telephone or fax to the contact number provided by the interested party or his/her legal representative. If they were to prove ineffective, they shall be served in writing to the domicile set out in the application, which must be located within the consular district.

Summons and requests served must be complied with within a period not exceeding ten days, unless personal attendance is required in which case the deadline is fifteen days.

Once all the possibilities of serving a notice have been exhausted, the notice shall be served by means of an announcement posted at the relevant notice board of the Embassy or Consulate during ten days.

If no reply is received to a request or summons, the applicant shall be deemed to have withdrawn his request and the resolution establishing this to be the case shall be notified to him.

Decisions on a visa application shall be notified within one month of the date of the lodging of an application, except for residence visas without work permit. In this case, decisions shall be notified within three months, but the request for the residence authorisation that has to be issued by the competent Delegación or Subdelegación del Gobierno shall interrupt the computation of this period of time until this authorisation is notified to the Embassy or Consulate.

The visa once granted must be collected within a month, unless it is a visa for family reunion or a visa for study purposes; in these cases, it must be collected before two months elapse. If a visa is not collected within the aforesaid period, the applicant shall be deemed to have renounced to the visa granted and the proceedings shall be filed.

I am aware that the visa fee is not refunded if the visa is refused.

What the National Visa Form Is and who uses it

The National Visa Form is a standardized U.S. immigration-related document used to collect biographical, travel, and eligibility information from applicants for nonimmigrant and immigrant visa processing. It is completed by applicants or their authorized representatives and routed to U.S. consular posts, the National Visa Center, or USCIS depending on the workflow. The form may require supporting evidence, identity verification, and, in some cases, notarization or witnesses; acceptance of electronic signatures depends on agency rules and applicable law such as ESIGN and UETA.

Why accurate completion and lawful e-signing matter

Completing the National Visa Form correctly reduces processing delays, supports accurate identity verification, and helps avoid denial or request for evidence. Electronic signing is legally recognized under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted, but agency-specific rules and exceptions can affect whether a specific form may be e-signed.

Why accurate completion and lawful e-signing matter

People and organizations that commonly complete the form

Typical filers and signers vary by visa type and include applicants, legal representatives, and government staff.

  • Individual applicants filing directly with a consular post or the National Visa Center
  • Immigration attorneys and accredited representatives preparing applications on behalf of clients
  • Employers and HR teams submitting work-visa related documents for sponsored employees

Knowing which role you occupy guides required fields, authentication level, and whether notarization or witness signatures are necessary.

Step-by-step: completing and submitting the National Visa Form

Follow these sequential steps to minimize errors and ensure proper routing.

  • 01
    Gather Documents: Collect passport, photos, and evidence before starting the form.
  • 02
    Complete Fields: Enter required data carefully, following specified formats.
  • 03
    Sign and Authenticate: Apply signature, consent to e-delivery, or obtain notarization if required.
  • 04
    Submit to Agency: Send to the National Visa Center, consular post, or USCIS as instructed.

Where to file and how submissions are routed

Submission destinations depend on visa category and the specific instructions on the form.

  • National Visa Center: Central processing for immigrant petitions transferred from USCIS.
  • U.S. Embassy/Consulate: Final interview scheduling and adjudication for consular processing.
  • USCIS: Adjustment of status and petition intake for domestic applicants.
  • Electronic Portals: Some forms accept e-submission through agency systems or authorized providers.

How to share, e-sign, and authenticate the form

Choose a distribution method that meets agency and legal authentication requirements.

  • File Formats: PDF and DOCX are commonly accepted for uploads.
  • Authentication: Use email, SMS, or higher-assurance KBA when required.
  • Integrations: Platforms integrate with systems like Salesforce and Google Workspace.

Platform considerations and recordkeeping

Preserve a copy of the signed record, audit trail, and any notarization evidence to satisfy retention and evidentiary requirements.

  • Audit Trail: Maintain timestamps, IP, and signer attribution.
  • Encryption: Protect records with TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest.
  • BAA Availability: Use a BAA for HIPAA-covered health data workflows.
