DS-3032

[Joggie 0]

I need advice on who to put on our DS-3032 please!

Does anyone know why they need an agent and what kind of paperwork they are going to receive? Or are they even going to be involved in the process?

My husband is deployed in Iraq right now so putting him would prolong the process because of the time it takes to mail stuff.

I'm in Denmark which is pretty much the same when it comes to receiving and sending mail.

My mother-in-law is in the States and I'm sure she'll be more than happy to be our agent but she doesn't know anything about our case.

Any advice?

we need an agent to receive all the paperworks and instructions regarding the processing of the application. There is an option on the ds3032 that if you do not appoint anybody and wishes to receive all future correspondence, then you may do so considering that your husband is deployed. You mentioned that your mom-in-law is willing but you also need to understand that she will process the paying of the fees and submit the necessary documents when NVC asks for those if you appoint her. Your other option is to have a lawyer which may actually cost you more.

My husband (beneficiary) appointed me(petitioner) as his agent of choice.

Best of luck to all of us!!!

Well as far as I know the agent receives the IV bill and the DS-230 package and that's it. I can pay the IV bill online which would be faster than she will be able to and I can print out the DS-230 now and have it ready for when they request it.

Thanks!

No matter who you choose as agent, all of the documents/applications you or your husband need to sign are printed from online, and you can even pay the fee bills online (although, the fees must be paid in US dollars from a US bank account or money order.) Therefore, technically speaking, it will not make the process faster or slower to choose yourself, your husband or your mother-in-law as agent. (Unless you plan to mail in a check for the fees.)

So print the forms in Denmark and Iraq, fill and sign them and send them to mom (along with relevant documents, if required). Make it easy for her - have everything assembled and ready to be mailed, so all she has to do is mail it. You can pay online from a US bank account, or have mom do it from her account, and you can just wire her the money.

We are doing almost the same thing in our case, since the both of us are in India right now, and sending mail from here to the US is either a 10 day journey or very expensive! We sent the forms and relevant documents to mom in the States early, so when it was time, she could just attach the cover pages (printed online & generated after paying the fees) and then mail everything out from there.

Hope this helps!

This is exactly what I need to know - thank you so much!!

Well, we just e-mailed the DS-3032 from my e-mail address.

We chose to have stuff mailed to US domicile address where my mother-in-law also lives. We can't pay the AOS fee bill until we get the IIN in the mail. When the IIN and the AOS/DS-3032 package arrives, we can pay online and mail the AOS package. Afer DS-3032 by email is accepted, we pay IV fee bill and send IV package too. That's how I understand it.

I'm thinking I can send a printed copy of DS-3032 with the premade barcode with Beneficiary's return address since I'm the one signing on to it. They may approve the e-mail DS-3032 before this one arrives, but it's good for them to have a hard copy.

So now I guess the advice is to send the DS-3032 by post separately, and then mail the AOS package in advance to my mom-in-law so she can mail it ASAP after we pay online?

make your husband the agent,, they only accept US account for payment,, im sure your husband can still pay them online using his account once you received your IIN...

email them your choice of agent, we use my mother in law address in the states because my husband was also deployed when we started the process, my MIL received our NOA1 and NOA2 hardcopy.

id like to add: that my case was also expedited on the NVC stage so i end up paying the IV fee in USEM manila during my interview..

I think I'm just going to put his Mom as the agent. I just talked to her on the phone and she says it's no problem. She'll call or email me as soon as she receives anything in the mail, and then I can just go online and pay the bills. I'll just go ahead and send her my DS-230 so it's ready and then she can overnight it when they request it. I'm thinking I'm just going to email them the DS-3032 and then dear hubby can send her his I-864EZ... I'm not even sure it's the EZ he needs to fill out but I read all the requirements and it fits. Any advice on this?

Oh and how did you get your case expedited at NVC? I asked when I called them the day after they received our case and he said just to email them and send his orders and other evidence.

its ok you can use I-864EZ thats what we use also, a senator's aide was helping us so she sent another letter to NVC with my husbands military order and CO's letter, i only submitted our choice of agent to NVC and after that my case was forwarded to USEM manila..

ya you can use your MIL as a choice of agent.. until now we are still using my MIL as our permanent mailing address for everything because my husband will PCS in a few months..

Wow that's interesting! I hope NVC doesn't take too long. Not too impressed with USCIS but I know we can't complain about the timeline.
