It looks like things are starting to break for all of us who were in the middle of filing our DCF when the Adam Walsh Bomb was dropped on us. This is from the Nicaraguan Embassy in Managua, the paperwork is being forwarded to our local USCIS in Tegucigalpa, Honduras

"Just today, we received the instructions for our post. We are not going to transfer cases to CIS. We will send the information to the CIS local office located in Tegucigalpa. I do not know how long they will take to process our request.
I will contact you as soon as we have an answer for your wife."

Thank you,

For me this is a big relief, there was talk of sending everything to the States, for me it would have been the Texas USCIS office. A nine month wait at least. However, the Embassy here in Nicaragua is small and so is the USCIS in Honduras, I am thinking it might take just a couple of weeks to get back on track with the final interview. I think this is good news for all of us.

Another thing, the Embassy here in Nicaragua won't do Jack until they are told to by someone higher up on the food chain. They said they received instructions, and I feel they have been told how to handle the current situation. What they told me was very little, I feel they know a lot more about what is going on, as do all the embassies by now. I think within a couple of days, next week for sure, we'll all know the whole story.

I don't think DCF is dead, but I think in the future they will require you to be a resident of the country you are filing from. When you become a resident of a foreign country they require you to provide a police report. A lot of the counties in Central America asks for a report from the State, and not local police departments. I feel DCF will survive, but it will be a little harder to get and not everyone will be able to do it is all.
