Future Marine

Considering my father still has British citizenship and properties over here (so proving residency in the UK wouldn't really be an issue apart from that whole "you need to be in the country for 6 months prior" thing), could I potentially push for DCF at the Embassy? The Consular General shot down my request to transfer my I-130 from CSC to the embassy for processing, but could I cancel my CSC petition and re-file over here directly?

Well, damn. That's a problem...

Hi all!

Recently found this site while researching USCIS visa times-etc. Figured i'd sign up and join in the discussion.

Name's Nate. 26. British Citizen. Father's a naturalized American and after a few years of persuasion, I finally managed to get him to sponsor me for my green card (he's rather anti-military). The plan is to get it then enlist US Marines and serve with the folks I know that're already enlisted. Brothers-in-arms and all.

Filed my I-130 April 2012 with CSC. So far I've gone through Congress and the US Embassy here in London to expedite my case, but unfortunately haven't had much luck with either (my Congressman was willing to assist, but the US Embassy...not so much). I'm on a bit of a clock as max enlistment age is 28 so I'm hoping that USCIS CSC catches up to VSC's processing rate. Till then, I'm just hurrying up and waiting like everyone else here.

Any advice or info you folks could provide would be greatly appreciated!
