Question about form DS-3032

Hi everyone on VJ,

I am USC and I have filed I-130 for my spouse to come here on IR-1/CR-1 visa. I have yet to get an approval but I am just trying to figure out next steps in the process. And first step is to figure out who should be nominated as choice of agent (Form DS 3032) by beneficiary (my spouse in India).

What are the implications if I (petitioner) am chosen as the agent by my spouse (beneficiary)?

If I (Petitioner) am selected by my spouse (beneficiary) as the Choice of Agent, what forms and documents I will be responsible for submission?

Will I be responsible for the whole process at NVC from payment of Affidavit of support bill, submission of Affidavit of support, IV fee bill processing, and submission of DS-230 forms w/ other required documents?

If I (USC petitioner) am chosen as agent, who will receive correspondence from NVC regarding Medical exam and Embassy Interview letter? Myself (USC petiotioner) or Beneficiary (spouse)?

What are the advantages of USC petitioner (myself) becoming agent for the beneficiary in foreign country?

I know one advantage is that mailing times will be shorter from location in US to NVC.

I am thinking about using email to send Form DS-3032 (Choice of Agent). Is it ok if I (USC petitioner) email the DS-3032 form instead of my spouse who is not very well-versed with use of computer? Or does form DS-3032 have to be emailed by my spouse's email address?

thanks to everyone in advance,

CS

The advantages, IMO, are speed and convenience. Your spouse must email choice of agent but you don't email the form, just a declaration. In my case, I simply created a Yahoo address in my wife's name and took care of it and did the same for her daughter. See James' shortcuts but check out the NVC forum as well, since much can be done online now.

What is JAMES SHORTCUT? Never figured this thing out. What is the e-mail address to email choice of agent address?

More than you asked for.....BTW, it's pretty much not needed at this point but definitely good to read to understand the whole process.

Any takers for these questions????

If I (Petitioner) am selected by my spouse (beneficiary) as the Choice of Agent, what forms and documents I will be responsible for submission?

Will I be responsible for the whole process at NVC from payment of Affidavit of support bill, submission of Affidavit of support, IV fee bill processing, and submission of DS-230 forms w/ other required documents?

If I (USC petitioner) am chosen as agent, who will receive correspondence from NVC regarding Medical exam and Embassy Interview letter? Myself (USC petiotioner) or Beneficiary (spouse)?

When we email Form DS-3032, we are NOT attaching the actual .pdf file of DS-3032 form to the email right? We are just including DS3032 details in the body of email, right?

Thanks
