Choice of Agent for a minor child

[bxa 0]

My wife in the Ukraine has a minor child 11 years old. They have independent I-130 petitions that has been approved by USCIS. When I send choice of agent form to NVC, do I have to send 2 forms - one for my wife, and another for the child? Does the child need to sign the form?

Also, looking far ahead, does the child need to come to the interview to the US Embassy in Kiev?

Thanks

There is no need for signatures, the easiest way for the choice of agent is by email. Send 2 separate emails, one for your wife and one for your stepchild. Check out this link for a sample email:

Yes, the child will need to come to the interview when the time comes.

Right, I know I can send an e-mail, but then I'm not sure that it will work. My wife can send an e-mail using her e-mail account, but for the child, should he use a different e-mail account or the same one as my wife's? Things become less clear once you are in situation with children.

Still, if I were to reply with paper forms, should the child sign his own form?

Sorry if this sounds dense, but there is no logic in these matters.

I sent 3 emails from the same email address. One for me and one each for my two children. There was no prolem with this at NVC. All 3 were acknowledged.

A parent can always sign a form for a minor if you choose the paper route.
