How Do You Enter the Subject Field Code From an Old IAP-66?
For an exchange program documented on Form IAP-66, DOS instructs the applicant to enter 00. followed by the four-digit subject field code shown on the IAP-66.
Use the code from the IAP-66
The relevant code should be taken from the applicant's actual Form IAP-66 rather than guessed from a current program description.
DOS specifies a prefix
Current instructions state that the DS-3035 entry should begin with 00. followed by the four-digit subject field code from the IAP-66.
DOS gives 00.2546 as an example
The example illustrates the required format but is not a substitute for the applicant's own IAP-66 code.
Preserve the original program documentation
The IAP-66 copy allows the Waiver Review Division to review the historical program information underlying the DS-3035 entry.
