Due to new procedure?
The DOS cable says the form DS-3032 has be filled only for those who haven\'t filled the G-28; For the rest who have already filed, the attorney will receive Pkt3 and 864. (Of course, I am no Attorney, pl check with your lawyer).
Here are the relevant portions of DOS cable:
5. BY INSTITUTING THE RETURN OF THE DS 3032 AS A PREREQUISITE FOR CASE PROCESSING, POSTS WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE FILES FOR APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT INTEND TO PURSUE IMMIGRATION OVERSEAS. FILES WILL REMAIN IN STORAGE AT NVC UNTIL THE APPLICANT, THROUGH THE SUBMISSION OF THE DS 3032, SIGNALS INTENT TO PURSUE IMMIGRATION. IN ADDITION, THE DS 3032 REQUIREMENT MEANS THAT POSTS WILL RECEIVE FILES WITH CURRENT ADDRESSES FOR BOTH APPLICANTS AND PETITIONERS.
EXCEPTIONS: WHEN THE DS 3032 WILL NOT BE REQUIRED
6. POSTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT SOME CASES WILL NOT REQUIRE A DS 3032. A G-28 ATTORNEY DESIGNATION OR EQUIVALENT (AS OUTLINED IN 9 FAM 40.4, N12) IN A CASE FILE RECEIVED FROM INS MEANS THAT THE LISTED ATTORNEY IS THE AGENT FOR THE CASE. RATHER THAN THE DS 3032, THE ATTORNEY WILL RECEIVE A PACKET THREE AND THE I-864 FORM. LIKEWISE, CASES INVOLVING SELF-PETITIONS OR ADOPTIONS OF OVERSEAS CHILDREN WILL NOT REQUIRE A DS 3032. SELF-PETITIONERS AND ADOPTING PARENTS ARE ASSUMED TO BE THE AGENTS AND WILL RECEIVE PACKET THREES AND THE I-864 FORM.
