Abstract of Proposed Collection
When an approved immigrant visa
petition is received at the National Visa
Center (NVC) and is determined to be
current for processing, NVC will send
the petition beneficiary Form DS–3032,
which allows the applicant to choose an
agent to receive mailing from NVC and
assist in the paperwork and payment of
fees. The applicant is not required to
choose an agent and may have all
mailing sent to an address abroad.
However, the alien’s case will be held
at NVC until the signed form is
returned. If the form is not returned
within one year, NVC will begin the
case termination process. DS–3032 is
not required if a G–28 (Notice of Entry
of Appearance as Attorney or
Representative) is received from DHS
and the attorney is the agent, the alien
is self-petitioning, or a child is being
adopted. Once the form has been signed
and returned to NVC the applicant
process will proceed.
Methodology
DS–3032 will be submitted via mail to
the National Visa Center.
