Choice of Agent

[bhangrabob 0]

I've been reading some of the NVC shortcuts and related information. I've seen things that seem to suggest that it might be preferable for the USC to be the Agent as opposed to the Applicant her/himself.

In the experience of this forum, what are the major benefits/drawbacks of each option?

Thanks,

Bob

It is bacause of the mailing time. The USC petitioner's correspondence with NVC takes mush less time compared with someone outside of USA.

I had the same question when I started and yes, Simple-Male is right. It takes less time for you to get the documents and express mail them to your spouse than for the NVC to do it. Plus, you get the added benefit of being able to see what they're actually sending, any additional instructions, etc. I made copies of everything in the packet before I sent them overseas to my wife.

The fun is just beginning
