Their was a time when we heard in some forum that “DCF is not possible now in India”

My wife (US citizen) personally went to USCIS, Delhi to ask the same question, but they had denied saying “US citizen must apply from USA ONLY “

Finally we have decided to write a mail to cis.ndi@dhs.gov for the appointment.

In reply we got below mail --------------

--------------------------------------------

Please be advised that only the U.S. Citizens whose principle abode is in India are eligible to file the I-130 application for their immediate relative. You need to provide the evidential documentation to prove your abode in India .

For more detailed instructions please click here for filing I-130 application.

Effective May 1, 2009; the exchange rate will be $1.00 = Rs.50.00. And you need to submit the filing fee of Rs.17,750/- in the form of demand draft favoring American Embassy, New Delhi .

Sincerely,

USCIS, New Delhi

India

----------------------------------------------

My wife already had applied for OCI card (Overseas citizen of India) to FRRO, she has received OCI in the mean time. This gives a boost and confidence to us to go for directly to go for Submission Of I-130 at delhi. We have submitted our i-130 and recived a Xerox of DD and FILLED I-130 stamped from consulate .

Start gathering documents:

1. Police certificates from any location the immigrant has lived for a period of 6 months or longer;

2. Birth certificates for any children of the immigrant (whether they are immigrating or not)

3. Divorce decrees for the immigrant;

4. proof of military service for immigrant (if applicable)

6. I-864 completed by sponsor (and joint sponsors if you need them)

7. last three years tax returns for sponsor (or tax transcripts)

8. proof of bona fide marriage.

9. proof of domicile in the US (bank statements, credit card statements, driver license, voter registration, lease or home ownership (if applicable)

10. if you feel confident in your application, you can begin the medical process. the medical is good for one year. the medical must be done by an approved panel physician. Go to www.uscis.gov and there is a search feature to find approved panel physicians in your country.

I might have left some things out, but this is what pops in mind at the moment.
