I used to be a member of Visajourney back in 2004 when I went through the K-1 and K-2 visa processes for myself and my daughter.

 

My daughter is now a U.S. citizen.  I want to ask a question on behalf of my daughter.

 

Here are the facts:

1.  She is a dual (Canada/US) citizen.

2.  Her spouse is a Canadian citizen.

3.  They live in Canada.

4.  She works in the U.S. (she commutes across the border every day with her Nexus pass).

5.  They want to move to the U.S., he wants to become a PR and they want to buy a house (because house prices are ridiculous in Canada).

 

Given that she is a US citizen and has employment in the US (but lives in Canada), are they eligible for the DCF?  

Would they go through the Vancouver consulate?  

 

Any comments or advice would be appreciated.

DCF is not available in Canada unless they have extenuating circumstances. 

YMMV
