So my husband and I got our NVC case number today :) and we gave our email addresses to the NVC operator. We have the DS-3032 ready to email according to the format given on this website for emailing the form. We have a few things that we are not sure about.

1)I (petitioner) live with my husband in Colombia. Should my husband (beneficiary) even put our Colombian address since we don't want anything sent there from the NVC?

2)Should we put our Colombian address or our expected US address once we get there? Will they try to send the green card to our Colombian address?

Thanks!

One more thing....

Should I get the Invoice Identification Number before or after we send the DS-3032 via email?

If one gives both email addresses to an operator at NVC, then all correspondence from NVC is sent through email, not snail mail, thus making the DS-3032 a moot form. But, it's still a formality. So, since you said you gave both email addresses already, it honestly doesn't matter what you put on the DS-3032 as all correspondence will be sent to you by email.

The green card is sent to the address listed on the DS-230. The question asks at which address you want your green card mailed. And at POE, the officers will confirm with you which address the green card will be mailed to.

Doesn't matter as the IIN has nothing to do with the DS-3032. Most people ask for it at the same time when they get their case number. Call NVC back up and request for it. It's needed to sign onto the payment portal and pay bills.
