FOR IMMIGRANT VISAS BRING THE DS-5540

[Martin M 2]

Here are some quotes that I found on various official pages which all indicate that form 5540 is not mandatory and "may" be requested and "may" be uploaded (emphasis of the word "may" in the quotes below by me):

 

"You may be asked to present a completed DS-5540, Public Charge Questionnaire, and supporting evidence at the time of your interview. To prepare that documentation in advance, please visit the DS-5540 Public Charge Questionnaire page of this website."

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html

 

"Applicants may scan and upload completed DS-5540 under the principal applicant in CEAC. Applicants may bring a copy to their interview."

 

"Applicants may want to consider gathering any required supporting documents they wish to provide. Supporting evidence and documentation should not be uploaded to CEAC, but applicants may prepare and bring to their interview those items they would like the consular officer to consider."
