Hi again,

I have another quick question: can the petitioner (in this case my USC husband) be the agent of choice? On the Department of State webpage it says that the agent can be the applicant (me) but I do not live in the US yet, whereas my husband has still an address there...

Thanks

Coco&Kitten,

Can you clarify if your husband (USC) currently resides in the USA? You state that your "husband still has an address there" not sure if that means he is currently in the USA or if he is living with you outside of the USA. The reason for this clarification is important, since if you assign your husband the Choice of Agent with his USA address, the NVC will send the documents to that address, and if he does not currently live there it'll make this difficult for you to get a hold of those documents. If he is living abroad with you, it may just make sense for you to assign yourself as the choice of agent. If he is living in the USA, then by all means assign your husband as the choice of agent.

Hi dev,

Yep, to clarify, my husband is living with me here in Spain right now. However he plans to move back to the US while we do all the paper-work process.

Thanks for your answer.
