Thanks for the info, i'm just a touch confused why i would want paperwork sent to someone else instead of myself, or is it that there's less chance of paperwork to get lost? Surely if i choose to get paperwork sent to my wife in the US who will petition for me she has to then mail it on to me ?

No you are still confusing it. Unless a person has a lawyer most everyone has the petitioner residing in US as agent. Just like the whole petitioning of this process is thee USC not the beneficiary. You would want NVC, USCIS , Embassy to contact the citizen. Well the DS-3032 really is a moot point because you both are notified. At this stage you both get email about DS-3032. both get AOS info IV Bill info and interview notification. So it really doesn't matter.

ok, still a touch confused, so are you saying that there's a point in the process where the petitioner is not longer normally sent correspondence and its sent to the beneficiary unless the beneficiary completes the D-3032 ? and that there's a reason to keep the correspondence being sent to the petitioner ?

Sorry if i'm missing the obvious.

Basically its a formality. I am sire before the internet age. And since now this is a Immigrant Visa its the NVC asking who is your agent you, the petitioner , or whoever. Some who are abroad use their parents. In the chance snail mail has to ve sent they have someone to talk to thats all.

You are thinking too mush into this.

ok thanks, i was just concerned that it appeared if i selected my petitioner as the agent, things would get sent to her that were meant for me! i guess not and i just fill it in and mail it back:)

thanks again
