Information about the DS-3032
Choice of Agent and Address Form
Unless an adjustment of status in the United States is requested, after approving an immigrant visa
petition filed in the United States, the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), forwards it to
the National Visa Center (NVC) where the State Department's immigrant visa process begins. If the
petition is for a visa applicant whose priority date is not likely to be reached in the next year, the petition
will be stored at the NVC until that priority date is reached.
When there is an immediate visa available or likely to be available within the next nine months, NVC
will send a letter enclosing the Choice of Agent and Address Form (DS-3032) to all of the applicants
with a few exceptions. The DS-3032 will not be sent to the applicant when an attorney represents the
applicant (and the USCIS file contains the appropriate designation that an attorney has been retained) or
when the visa applicant will be the adopted child of the petitioner.
The DS-3032 permits the applicant to name an agent to receive correspondence from NVC and requires
applicants still interested in immigrating to tell NVC where to send mail about their visa request. The
letter tells the applicant that they may choose someone, including the petitioner or a non-profit
organization, to be their agent or they may elect to continue to receive the correspondence themselves.
The applicant must complete and sign the DS-3032 and return it to the NVC before processing can
continue. Given the difficulties often encountered with international mail, we encourage applicants to
seek an agent with a U.S. postal address.
So that you, as the petitioner, can understand any questions that the applicant may have about the
DS-3032, we have enclosed a copy of it for you. While only the applicant can sign the DS-3032, you
may send or fax a copy of the enclosed form to the applicant, if you learn that he or she has not received
it. The applicant can then complete, sign, and return the DS-3032 to NVC. The mailing address for the
DS-3032 is:
