DS-3032 is titled Choice of Address and Agent for Immigrant Visa Applicants. This form is used by a beneficiary of an immigration process to choose an agent who will received all mailings from NVC. This agent will also receive the invoices for Affidavit of Support and Immigration Visa package. Most non-USA based beneficiary choose the petitioner as their agent of choice.

One can wait until NVC sents the DS3032 to beneficiary or they can preemptively submit this to NVC. To do so, they can mail it through postal mail or email the DS3032 form to NVC.
