Oh I'm sorry! I don't use this site much so my mistake. Thanks for answering though.

Thank you for clarifying. I dont believe we met the criteria for DCF which is why we filed online

Sorry, what is DCF?

USC submitted for foreign spouse and minor child 20th September 2023, active reviewing since 28th September 2023, consular processing from the UK. Just getting antsy at the lack of updates but I get the idea that this is normal. I guess I just need some reassurance it'll have some movement soon? Nebraska service centre.

@Mike E apologies I have worded it wrong and possibly misunderstood on my end. I just meant without using any sort of paid service to do expat taxes on your behalf (myexpattaxes for example)

Accidental American here and didn't realise I was supposed to be filing taxes. Born, lived and worked in the UK my entire life, got my first US passport this year and went into a blind panic when I realised I'm supposed to file taxes and provide transcripts for the I-864 Affidavit of Support, as me, my husband (UK citizen) and 3yr old daughter are planning to move to the US. We have submitted I-130 forms. My father has agreed to be a joint sponsor (earns well over the amounts required for household size). My question is, has anyone done the streamline procedure themselves without the help of an expat tax company or software? I want to get myself compliant ASAP and cannot afford to pay upwards of £700 to get it done by someone else. If anyone has done this, any pointers/tips/advice would be helpful please!

I submitted my husband and daughter's I-130 forms on the same day, named them on the petitions as additional family etc but my daughter's petition has a shorter estimated processing time than my husband's, is this normal? Should I be concerned?
