Does anyone know about filing the DS-3032 (choice of address and agent) from overseas? My husband and i are living in australa, can we have him be his own agent? or does it have to be someone in the US who is the agent?

Hey there,

Form DS-3032 permits the applicant to "choose" an agent to receive mailings from the NVC and assist in the paperwork or paying of required fees etc. The agent can be an attorney, friend or family member, etc who can act as your representative within the United States as your application is being processed. The applicant is not “required” to choose an agent and may have all the mailings sent to themselves at their overseas address, just check the box that states you select this option when completing the form. Ie:

I do not appoint an agent or an attorney to receive mail about my application. Mail

from the U.S.Department of State concerning my immigrant visa application should

be sent to me at:

The beneficiary can choose whoever they want to be agent for the case, whether in the US or not. So, yes, he can elect himself as agent.

Keep in mind, if you give over both email addresses to an operator, then the DS-3032 is a moot form as all correspondence will be sent to your emails instead of by snail mail.
