I-130 vs I-129F: where to post?

[katie & sifa 25]

Speaking of filing DCF... I've been searching the Forum (just found out about it - it's great) to try to figure out how to file for our K1... I'm American but have been living and working in London permanently since 2007. Fiance is British. Can we file DCF.. or...? Consulate website has been less than helpful thus far.. :-/

Can't do a DCF for a K-1 - it is only for the spouse of a US citizen, not a fiance(e). You would either need to get married (probably fastest option) and file DCF or use a US permanent address (parents, etc) and file a K-1 based on that if you are really wanting to get married in the US (though you could both visit the US, get married here while on vacation from jobs, etc and then go back to the UK and apply for DCF.)
