I recently received my case number from the NVC. I have read somewhere that I will not receive this form since I have a lawyer. But would my wife receive this form in India? Would the lawyer I hired in U.S. also function as her agent? I am confused. Thanks in advance.

If your lawyer filled out I-130 form for you, then yes, he/she will be your choice of agent. You mmight want to call NVC and comfirm it.

The way I understand it the DS-3032 goes to the person who is to receive the visa so they can identify who should receive any letters from the NVC. This can be the lawyer if you choose or you but I would think if you are paying the lawyer he should be the one named on the DS-3032.

If you want to be efficient and skip the lawyer, you can change the agent of choice by email and make it yourself, the petitioner. It's entirely up to you. Actually the email needs to go to NVC from the beneficiary but I did that by creating a US yahoo address in my wife's name and sending the email myself.

I will be facing this issue as well. We have full legal representation and also submitted a completed Form G-28 along with our I-130 petition. We do not want our lawyer being the Agent of Choice, we definitely want me (the petitioner) to be the Agent of Choice.

pushbrk - You had submitted a G-28 with the I-130 and emailed the NVC asking for the petitioner (you) to be the Agent of Choice instead? I want to make double sure that this is allowed even though we have a lawyer.

Thanks in advance,
