DCF Mexico

[SeRaFort 5]

Hello,


I'm new here, have researched DCF, and have some questions regarding my situation. I currently reside in Mexico, the state of Jalisco (I have a work permit) while working in the same state. I also recently got married on a trip to the US and was offered a job which I'm currently doing remotely but my employer wants me back sometime in December or could extend to January (My relationship before marriage started March-April 2018 with plenty of pictures/ events, family and friend testimony to confirm if needed.). I have filed taxes every year I have been abroad (traveled during the pandemic to Mexico) and have an affidavit of support in case my income is insufficient. I have had 0 luck contacting anyone in the GDL Consulate. A few days ago I decided to visit the location in person and was told by someone at reception on the street side that I should do DCF in the Mexico Embassy. After visiting the GDL Consulate, I searched online and found this forum with some cases of DCF being done through the Mexico City Embassy. I have found no contact information anywhere other than this number 55 5080 2000 to be able to talk about my specific case and see If I'm eligible for DCF.  Don't know how to proceed. I don't want to fly into Mexico and be told I need an appointment. I appreciate any help, suggestions, or personal experiences since I'm completely lost as to how to get information and start the process if I'm deemed eligible.

Looks like Ciudad Juarez (https://mx.usembassy.gov/visas/family-based-immigration/fb-apply-step1/)

 

The U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez has limited authority from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to accept certain I-130, I-360, and I-600 petitions.  This authority only extends to U.S. citizens filing petitions for Immediate Relatives and to self-petitioning widows.

DHS is normally responsible for adjudicating these petitions and only permits the Consulate General to accept petitions in narrow circumstances.

The applicant and petitioner must meet specific physical presence requirements in Mexico and have authority to remain in Mexico for the duration of consular processing.  Petitioners must also show exceptional circumstances, which can include adoption, short notice of job relocation, U.S. military emergencies, or beneficiaries who are close to aging out of visa eligibility.  Petitioners should be prepared to provide documentary evidence supporting the basis for local filing.  USCIS has published guidance  on circumstances that may qualify as exceptional and more information can be found in the Foreign Affairs Manual .  Petitioners may not locally file at the Consulate General to circumvent DHS processing times.

Individuals who believe they qualify to file a petition at the Consulate General may contact CDJFilePetition@state.gov to request more information.
