DCF: still available? (Immigration Law)

Is it true that now USC's cannot DCF if they are not residents in the country where they wish to file? Is that the rule now in EVERY country, or just in some of them? How could I know if we could DCF in Chile?

I just looked at this yesterday for someone else. It appears that it may
be possible in Santiago.

Note you must be married to file your I-130.

Getting married in Chile may be time/document intensive.

You must appear in Chile to file.

Visa timeline will depend on how long it takes you/spouse to gather
needed paperwork.

Please read the DocSteen site http://k1.exit.com/dcf.html for
suggestions on how to word your *request* to the Consulate IV unit.
DCF/Direct Consular Filing is not an official Consular term and may not
be recognized by Consular staffers.

Where did you get the idea that DCF for non-resident USCs had been
cancelled?

Please share information you learn as it will be helpful to others in
the future.

  • I have seen here that DCF is not available in Spain since July 2003.
    That was one option for us since I have dual citizenship in Spain
    and Chile.
