Thank you Tina and Johan.

I found this site SO helpful, and I like to help others with the process! It can be very confusing!

Agree with Tina and Johan if you need police clearance or birth certificate get on that ASAP! You will need the full unabridged birth certificate.

I hope you hear back soon Stressed out!

It shouldn't be a problem. I typed up a letter, but wasn't asked for it.

Some other things:

Voter ID in your state

Car parked in possession of your parents

Shipping quotes

I think most jobs would not be so willing to give you time off so soon. Unless you were the perfect fit, and you could set your terms.

You might not even find something between now and December.

But, if you do volunteer you can add it to your CV and begin the job search again when you return after your trip.

Hi,

Yes, Brazil doesn't do DCF anymore. http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-immigration-offices

Are you in the United States right now? And you wife is in Brazil?

If you recently got married it would be CR-1 visa. IR-1 visa is if you were married for 2 years.

K-3 is pretty much doesn't exist anymore.

Best option is a CR-1 visa.

You can file the I-130 from Hungary. List your address there and included information that you live there and letters addressed to you. (rent, bills or bank statements addressed to you in Hungary. You can included a cover lever that you are living overseas and filling a I-130 and want to move to the U.S.A.

Here is a thread about USC living about and not being able to do DCF.

Hi,

There is no DCF for Hungary. http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-immigration-offices

I would get married and do DCF. You have already been living in Mexico for longer then the residency requirement for DCF, and it would be faster than a K1 visa. You would just need to get married first then apply.

Yes, you will need a co-sponsor. Maybe you have parents or a sibling that would be willing?

There is a thread just for this called DCF Mexico http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/242117-dcf-mexico/

Hi Britishtex,

You might want to start your own thread. But as the USC you can leave as soon as you file. You don't have to hang around and wait till it gets approved.

With the I-864 you would want to fill it all out and leave it with your partner. But the page where it has you sign it and date it you might have to mail depending on how current the UK wants the date to be. But that is a minor thing. And, you can phone the Embassy and ask them.

I did DCF in South Africa if you have any questions about the medical or interview feel free to contact me! Hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Hi,

No there isn't a DCF in Colombia.

http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-immigration-offices

Hi and it would be a B2 visa. I think an invitation letter can hurt an application, but that is my opinion. But, others might think differently.

I agree with Nich-Nick. At very worst (and I don't think this would happen) but the Embassy would just ask you to provide information about your intent to reestablish domicile. You would just provide this information if asked after your interview if requested.

I would put your parents address. I did that an did DCF in South Africa. I did not need or included a letter from my parents that we would be living there after the move to the USA.

Sorry I should of been more clear. I would just photocopy your customer's receipt.

I really don't think it needs to be sent in, but if it makes you feel comfortable then I would make a copy of customer receipt and include it.

Good Luck!! And I hope you hear back soon.

Well I did CC but it was not Germany.

I would just make a copy of the CC receipt. I am sure they have record that you paid, and if you make a copy you can keep the original.

For the pictures I put dates on the back and the location of where the picture was taken.

I also had bills in both our names that showed our address.

I think you have a lot of good evidence. It should be approved quickly.

Since you are dealing directly with the Embassy I think they might look at them. I would e-mail them and put something in the subject lines 'Beneficiary Last Name Supporting Doc I-130' I would also call 3 days after you e-mailed your documents in just to make sure they were received and went to the correct department.

We didn't do anything by post (but I did DCF in South Africa) it was all done by e-mail.

You said you had receipts and documents?

Can you clarify what you mean by those items?

Some things I used were:

Christmas Cards addresses to both of us

Birthday Cards addressed to both of us

Bills:

In my name but showed the address where I was living with my husband

Package from the post office addressed to me

Even though I think you should be fine you can always add a couple affidavit from friends and family members (even though they hold little to no weight) you could use it too bulk up your evidence.

I found this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/499867-dcf-guangzhou-china-current-timelines/

Someone who did DCF this year. Applied March 13th interview was May 27th (click on the link for the full timeline)

But even if you factor in the 6 months wait to do DCF I would still do it. Much easier and less hassle. And you would still make your targeted July or August date you would like to be in the USA.

Ok so it looks like you use the I-864a when you need to combine income when two people live at the same address.

For example you need to combine your mom's and dad's income.

I remember looking at this thread. Hope it helps you.

No I was living in South Africa.

If you're under the same roof together by then, then he'll do the I-864a. Somebody correct me otherwise...this doesn't pertain to my personal situation. I've only read that the I-864a is for joint sponsors living in the same house.

We we all be under the same roof soon. I did a I-864 and my father did the I-864 and it was NO problems.

I was a little confused about the difference between the a and the straight I-864. When I did a search I got varying answers. You can always prepare the I-864 and the I-864a and bring both to the interview.

Don't think that the OP is living with their dad since they are doing DCF.

Anyway I used my dad. He filled out an I-864 and I also filled out an I-864.

I did DCF.
