Sorry I'm new to this. Me and my wife are at the NVC stage, can you tell what do they mean by Choice of Agent ? What is a Agent ?

The agent would be the one that will be doing all the work and filing paperwork etc or the main point of contact for the NVC through this process. Kind of like a power of attorney type situation.

By agent, they mean someone who sends and receives correspondence in behalf of the beneficiary. But it's kinda useless actually, because if NVC has both the petitioner's and the beneficiary's email address, they send instructions to both.

Yes, when they have both addresses they send information to both but without the DS3032, processing will come to a dead stop prior to invoicing the IV fee. Returning it on paper or by email is a must, to complete the NVC process. Generally, in a do it yourself case, the USC petitioner is the agent of choice.

How does beneficiary sign DS-3032 when emailing it to NVC? Instead, do you just type in your name in the signature box?

Also, when I tried to type and save all the information on this form, it says that you can't save a copy and that you must print it.

If one is not able to save the electronic copy with all the information typed in, how can we email it to NVC?

They don't need to sign the DS3032 if the petitioner and beneficiary's full names and dates of birth are in the body of the email.

It isn't useless as the agent is someone in the US whether it be the husband/wife or attorney. The beneficiary would be hard pressed to send all documents and correspondence through the mail to the NVC from a foreign country.

The agent need not be in the USA but it is often the best choice. Not everybody is even in a hurry.

It's pretty much useless in terms of what its purpose is. It's supposed to allow the beneficiary to appoint someone to receive correspondence from NVC, but the beneficiary will still get correspondence from NVC if NVC has his/her email address on file.

But yes, as pushbrk said, the DS-3032 is absolutely needed for your case to progress at NVC (if you don't have an attorney).
