DS-5535 Supplemental Questions for Visa Applicants
A supplemental questionnaire a consular officer can require from a visa applicant selected for extra vetting. It asks for fifteen years of travel history, addresses, employment, and family details, and five years of phone numbers, email addresses, and social media handles. Being asked for it usually means months of administrative processing.
