Is DCF the same as K-3??

I was under the impression that Direct Counsular Filing ( say if I meet my fiance in his country and filed directly there) that it would be a faster process than to go home to file it? Thanks!

It may be faster I think, but the best thing to do is to check the DCF Guide and check the DCF process with the US Embassy in your fiancé's country. I think you(as the US citizen)have to be married and living in the country where your spouse lives for at least 2 years, but perhaps someone else can help with this. I did DCF in the UK when I had been married to my wife for 2 years and I aplied for the IR-1 visa.

Correct in most cases, but as members replied to you in your other thread, as you dont meet the residency requirements in the country of your fiance, then you cannot do DCF. You would have to file in the US.
