Hi,

Can anyone help? In my search for the best method to relocate with my American Fiancee, I was advised that we should apply for DCF. I cannot for the life of me locate a contact number for the US Consulate in his area? According to the many links and sites I have been directed to - all suggest to contact the local consulate office to see if our situation allows up to apply for DCF? Does anyone know where I can get this very important inf? I will briefly explain our situation below. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

I met my Fiance here in Canada over 4 years ago. He is a US Citizen. He was here on a temp. work contract. After the contract expired over 3 years ago, he decided to stay. He was here as a visitor and was surviving off of savings. We have been in a common law relationship ever since and recently became engaged. We have decided that we would like to relocate back to the US where he can work and we can start a new life in California. I am a Canadian resident. So my issue now is who do I call to see if we can actually apply for the DCF? Is it the Consulate for Canada? Or do we locate the US Consulate in his area where we would be residing? If in his area, does he need to call on my behalf or will they allow me to call and explain our situation? Sorry for the long post. I apprecaite the feedback from anyone willing to help.

DCF is intended for couples residing in the foreign country (Canada in your case) - presumably this is what you mean.

In your case you have two choices:

Montreal or Vancouver (Click likes for either for contact and other information)

There are no US consulates within the USA, but as PP said, you'd need to apply within Canada anyways.
