the beneficiary should sign it
if he is the beneficiary (the alien husband) then why am I the choice of agent? What good does that do if he has to sign it and mail it all the way from the UK? Should he have stayed his own choice of agent?

It better for you to stay the choice of agent since the NVC will send the documents by regular mail - the chance of it getting lost going internationally is much greater. Also, by you being the choice of agent, it saves a ton of time - it will take up to 10 days for you to receive the documents from NVC as opposed to 20 days going to an international destination.
With the documents that the beneficiary (alien husband in this case) has to sign, you should prepare those documents well ahead of time, and get him to send it back to you. So when the NVC sends you the documents, you have everything ready to send out.
Trust me, don't stress out with the fact that you are the choice of agent. Be greatful. Many people who make the mistake of keeping the beneficiary as the choice of agent have had almost 2 more months added to their overall timeline because of it.
Good luck.

well, my thing is, we have been waiting to get the forms and now I got them and was hoping to post them tomorrow, so another week or 3 is wasted. I didnt know we needed to prepare the forms ahead of time. GRRRRR soooo many hurdles to jump. Thanks for the info.
the choice of agent has to pay the bills,
for the DS230 he can send it to you ahead of time, all he has to do is fill-up online, print it, sign it and mailed it to you with the required docs, that's what i did as soon the IV bill is generated....

He can also e-mail NVC choosing his choice of agent. Do an advanced search for a topic called "James Shortcuts" and it tells you how to do it.
