DCF or direct consular filing means direct filing of the petition and petition only (petition and visa application are two distinct and seperate processes so try not to be confused). All normal procedures for visa application and issuance (interview, etc..) after the petition has been approved, have to be and will continue to be done at the consulate.
Okay, well in that case, yes, it looks like DCF is dead.
Donot agree its dead as of now, bad info to post. The word is not out as of yet. DCF's took alot of burdens off USCIS and its more practical to perform immigrant visa's at embassy's. So it would be wise of them to keep. The only issue with DCF's is background checks, and there is many ways to simplify that. So why dont we wait for the message from USCIS and DOS before we assume and scare people off. My advice to anyone wanting to immigrate their wife/husband, to wait two weeks and lets see what happens.
Is this regarding certain Embassy(s)? I am in the process of getting ready to send my forms to London - is this a bad idea then? I am a USC who is married to an Englishman. I have been married almost one year but have been living here in the UK since 2003. I am also a dual citizen of the US/UK, does that make a difference?
Embassy's will no longer accept I-130
