what is under DCF? It is not like being under "house arrest"... Applying for a visa to the USA does not put shackles on your life....

YMMV

Initially that was my reaction too payxibka - however, while on the surface it does seem a little over the top - really, when you think of the process for the K1 - it's not out of the realm of possibility at all.

When the K1 person enters the U.S. they indeed DO have shackles put on their life.

No, it is not the OP's situation - I was just replying to your comment above.

This visa process is not always the most logical - so I can see why the OP asked the question - that was really my point.

I still stand by my statement ... APPLYING for a visa to the USA does not put shackles on your life.... I said nothing about what occurs after entry, to a non-immigrant, who was not an immediate relative of a USC at entry, who wishes to adjust their status to resident.....

YMMV
