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.
