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 beneficiary to choose
an agent to receive mailings from NVC
and assist in the paperwork or paying
required fees. The applicant is not
required to choose an agent and may
have all mailings 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.
Dated: November 16, 2009.
