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.

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.

Thanks guys,

Im concerned because obviously Im living here in the US, so I worry they will think Im trying to bring him here to stay…..that he won't leave.

His dad supports us maintaining our close relationship with lots of trips to see each other…..but his home will always be the UK with his dad ( besides…..he'd NEVER leave and miss the football season or girlfriend…..teen love!!!)

It will be his first trip alone and its going to be a bit of a challenge but he's a bright lad and very grown up, I just really don't want him getting pulled into secondary. Im looking all over the internet on the legal ramifications of a minor being questioned.

I was looking into getting a gate pass at RDU……but doubt that would ever be allowed!

I have gone through RDU immigration many times and I much rather go through RDU then JFK or IAD, I agree with Harpa and your son will be fine.

But, I did go to the RDU website and if you want a gate pass you need to contact the airlines. http://www.rdu.com/airlineflightinfo/rduairlines.html

But I think your son will be fine.

Good luck!!

Hi,

Take a look at this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/357465-usc-petitioner-living-abroad/

It looks like people who live abroad but do not qualify for DCF sometimes have their petitions move faster then those in the U.S.A.

Be sure to write your foreign address and state that you are living in France.

Southeast Asia. What year did you apply?

This year.

Hi,

From what I have read on VJ looks like a few Petitioners do this. Drop of the petition then travel back to the U.S.A. You won't have any problems with this.

Yes, you can still enter.

I'm not 100% on the time you have to pay the $165 so check on that when you arrive in the USA!

I did look at the link awaywego provided and typed up a letter and brought some documents. But, I wasn't ask for anything.

If you look at that link you can see if you have or will have any of those items.
