Is there no USCIS office in Australia?

I was looking at the EZGuide Spouse page (http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/EZGuideSpouse), which said I needed to look at the DCF page for instructions, since I'm a U.S. citizen who lives in Australia.

I was just reviewing the DCF page here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/DCF

It pointed to the International Immigration Offices page here: http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-immigration-offices

But Australia isn't listed?

Any ideas what the deal is here and how we go about the 'quick' process?

Correct. There is no DCF in Australia.

You would need to file through the normal process with the Lockbox.

If you are living abroad with your spouse you send your petition and supporting documentation to the address in Chicago commonly called a lock box.

Outside the United States* USCIS Chicago Lockbox

For U.S. Postal Service:

USCIS
P.O. Box 804625
Chicago, IL 60680-4107

For Express mail and courier deliveries:

USCIS
Attn: I-130
131 South Dearborn-3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

I will try to update that wiki so it is clearer and easier to understand when DCF would be an option.
