Full Version: Osaka resident eligible for DCF?

My brother lives in Osaka, Japan and is about to file an I-130 for his wife. He was going to send it to the Chicago Lockbox, but I was thinking he might be able to do DCF? Can he? Or does he need to live near Tokyo?
From what I read any US citizen living Japan can file the petition to the Embassy in Tokyo, the website for the consulate in Osaka points to Tokyo for filing the I-130.

Yeah, that second link is the one that made me think he might be able to go through Tokyo. I guess he should call the embassy and ask. Thanks for the reply.
