First of all, I am a new member in VJ. Speding a couple weeks reading through a lot of good and valuable information. I have a question on FORM DS-3032. According to the NVC Process Flowchart for CR-1/IR-1 Visa Applicants, its say "NVC Generates and sends a copy of the DS-3032* (Choice of Agent form) and the AOS Bill to the petitioner" that is mean to the person that living in the US? In the next step say "At the same time, NVC generates and sends the DS-3032* to the alien." So i am not sure that my wife back home (Vietnam) also will recieve this DS-3032 and myself in US? According to the forum of this matter I just completed the DS-3032 and signed by my wife back home, but i guess i have waiting for the Case Barcode Strip so I can put it on before send it to the NVC? By the way I have been reading through James's Shortcut, but to much stuff. So I just want to wait for the snail mail to come in I guess. So please confirm that FORM DS-3032 that both of us will recieve (my wife back home and myself?) thanks VJ members. You guy a a great help.

yes, the petitioner and beneficiary both will recieve choice of agent form,most likely u will recieve it earlier than ur wife in Vietnam,cuz ur mail is domestic and hers is international,if u r planning to mail that form from USA ,u can ask ur wife to discard or ignore that form.

You actually don't have to send them DS3032 in hard copy, you can go to Jame's short cut email DS3032 to NVC with your wife email address. NVC will accepts email from your wife Choice of Agents. That way you save lot of time for snail mail.

Good luck.

We did the Email for the DS 3032 because it takes so long for the beneficiary to receive it via snail mail. My wife had her case complete at NVC before the hard copy of the DS-3032 reached her in the Philippines. and it takes only about a week for the email conformation to come for the email version. Once the DS-3032 is approved it really makes NVC so much quicker to complete. I would recommend doing the Email version anyway why you wait for the hard copy.
