choice of agent

[alongjourney 0]

Hi, I understand that once I-130 is approved and everything is sent to NVC, they send the beneficiary a form to choose an "agent." Since I'm away from my home country, I'm considering making my mom the "agent." If I make my mom the "agent", what would be her role/what can she do on my behalf? For example, is this solely for mail delivery purpose, or can she complete and sign the forms that I need to submit on my behalf? Please let me know. Thank you!

Hi alongjourney,

The goodnews and answer is:

YES.

The NVC process has two paths that will merge in the end.

1. What YOU need to do

2. What your WIFE needs to do

BOTH can be done remotely.

Making your mom the agent is a wise choice. She will receive all documents

for your WIFE's end of the deal. And she can send them directly. You don't

need any additional "power or attorney", etc.. You will send in a form

(you can do it by E-mail - go to: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=117

and scroll down to find "James shortcuts") I and others have used them, they

worked perffectly for me.

In addition, you can do YOUR end of the NVC process by remote as well. You need

to have a telpehone to call the NVC and get updates to find when you can send in the

docs that YOU make with the help of "James shortcuts", follow the instructions carefully

and you will be fine. You can use the internet to get & print your financial docs, taxes, etc...

NVC: USA (603) 334-0700

I got all this help from just surfing this board. Spend time here and you will find what you

need. The URL I gave you is a great place to start.

Best,
