Hello all-

I just got back today from being in Nicaragua with my husband for the past month. I had found a copy of the DS-3032 on the dept. of state website, and brought it with me to have my husband sign, as the nicaraguan mail service is slow and inefficient. Upon returning home today, I received a copy of the ds-3032 that the NVC sent me with a barcode and the case number on it. Does anyone have any experience/advice regarding this? Can I just attach the both forms and mail them together, or will this be insufficient? If not, I have to try to fax the form to my husband, and have it mail it back to the NVC, which will surely cause a great delay.

Look forward to hearing back!

Hope all your journeys are going well,

rachel

DS 3032 is the choice of agent form. Actually, your husband (the Beneficiary) can email NVC and ask NVC to appoint you (the US Citizen Petitioner) as his choice of agent so that NVC sends all future correspondence to you. It is very helpful because it will save time in postal mail. Plus taking care of the DS 3032 choice of agent by email will save you sometime in the process as well. Remember, your husband must email NVC (NVCINQUIRY@state.gov). You or your husband don't need to mail any DS 3032 form when your husband uses the email method. Usually, NVC accepts the choice of agent email within 2-10 business days. Below is a sample text that your husband can use (He should use it as an example):

To:nvcinquiry@state.gov

Subject :NVC Case Number ABC##########

(Text of e-mail below)

Case Number = ABC##########

Beneficiary Name and DOB = Your name and date of birth

Petitioners Name and DOB = Your wife's name and date of birth

Dear Sir/Madam:

I, (enter the beneficiary's name) is the beneficiary and my NVC assigned case number is ABC##########.

Unfortunately I cannot locate my Choice of Agent form DS-3032 and would like to appoint my wife (enter the petitioner's name) as my agent of choice to receive all correspondence from NVC.

My wife's (the petitioner) name and address are as follows:

(Wife's name and USA address)

All correspondence from the National Visa Center concerning my immigration visa process should be sent to the address referenced above.

Please kindly reply with a correspondence acknowledging the recepit of this e-mail in lieu of the DS-3032 Choice of Agent form. Thank you for your kind help.

Sincerely,

(Enter Beneficiary's name)

Managua, Nicaragua
