Abstract of proposed collection: 

Form DS–3032 permits the principal 

applicant filing an immigrant visa 

application to choose an agent living in 

the United States who will be 

authorized to receive mailings relating 

to that application from the National 

Visa Center (NVC), assist in the 

paperwork, and pay required fees. The 

applicant is not required to choose an 

agent and may have all mailings sent to 

an address abroad. The applicant’s file 

will be held at NVC until the signed 

form is returned. In accordance with 

Section 222(f) of the INA, information 

obtained from applicants in the 

immigrant visa process is considered 

confidential and is to be used only for 

the formulation, amendment, 

administration, or enforcement of the 

immigrant, nationality, and other laws 

of the United States. 

Methodology: 

Form DS–3032 is mailed to the 

principal applicant once the underlying 

immigrant visa petition has been 

approved by the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) and NVC has 

determined that the case is current and 

active for processing. The applicant 

then submits the form to NVC via mail 

and waits for further instructions.
