DS-3032 Question

[SimonM 0]

When the NVC first contacted us, the emailed me (the petitioner/sponsor), and according to the immigrant visa processing checklist I established communication and declared an agent (myself). I wrote them with my name and email saying that I would be the agent for my wife. I wrote our names, birth dates, and case number as required.

I just got off the phone with NVC (18 minutes on hold) to ask if they had received our payment for AOS. They had! But she told me that before making the payment for the visa application I have to have submitted the DS-3032 form (choice of address and agent) in order for them to send me a bill.

Is the establishing of an agent which I did via email before doing the AOS (payment and forms) essentially the DS-3032 or do I need to do that as well?

I think what happened is that they just haven't checked the email I sent them on April 23 and once they check it they will email me that bill.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, the choice of agent and address is the DS-3032. Did you put your NVC case number? It can take them a week or more to read and answer your e-mail.

Yes in the subject as they requested.

I will call them again if I don't hear back early next week.

Thanks speedwell.

Just a thought: Doesn't the DS-3032 email have to be sent from the beneficiary's email address on file at NVC?

Technically, the physical DS3032 form is filled up and signed by the beneficiary.

Pardon me, so NVC contacted you after they received your package without you calling them for IIN? If so did they use the emails on the I-130?
