Can we use direct consular filing?

Me and my fiance are getting married just before I have to leave on the 23rd november. Is it possible for him to use DCF when I leave. What will he need to do? Also can his father be the affidavit of support as my fiance is a student?

Any info will be great thanks in adavance.

You will want to view the DCF Information Page in order to see if you qualify. This all depends on quite a number of factors.

The US citizen petitioner has to fill out the affidavit of support. If they do not meet the income requirements then a co-sponsor can be used, this could be your fiance's father. He will have to also fill out an affidavit of support.

Given that you were considering AOS before, that would indicate that your fiance is resident in America and so you must go the SCF route. Even if he was previously resident in the UK he is no longer. Unless you are both in America on vacation and will both be returning to the UK after getting married. Historically SCF was slower than DCF, but it's not a strict rule and in fact this time last year the opposite was true. Here is the VJ guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1. And here is a short guide I wrote on another site: http://forum.diveintoamerica.com/showthread.php?p=66163 Might be vaguely useful as it is specific to the UK.

Unfortunately it sounds like you will be too late to miss the fee increase. My advice would be to spend some time this week getting all the forms ready, so that as soon as you receive the marriage certificate your petition can be sent off.

Thanks for that. Do we send 2 affidavits of support at the same time or do they request it?

You are the one that has to do the direct filing which means you will need to be in country at the time. WIll you have your papers to file in time including copies of your marriage certificate ?

So confused.

This was your post on 30 July of this year

>>> Arrived in the US on a VW intentionally for 2 weeks for friends wedding. Boyfriend proposed, so i stayed as my VW was valid for the 90 days. We got married, I have a month left on my valid VW. What do we do now? Can I stay while we are waiting for everything to be processed? Do I have to leave, and if i do what happens?

Really hope someone has answers, we are so confused.

I AM SO CONFUSED...

You have been posting conflicting stories since July. Are you married? Did you intend to come to the US and get married but just cannot figure out how to fix this?

I DO HAVE ADVICE...

Since you have not figured this out since July when you entered and you are rapidly approaching the expiration of your VW if you have married or are going to GET OUT OF USA ASAP.. because you do not want to incur a Bar for 3 or 10 years. If it has taken you this long to still not know whether you are married or single.. clearly this process is beyond your grasp.. better you figure it out from the outside so you don't get in trouble you cannot fix.. because the Waiver Process is even more complicated than the regular immigration process and much more difficult to get approved. :wow:

Seems to be quite a few threads, none of which imply that since the 30th July the OP has got even a basic clue of the overall process.

I think she got married on the 12th November, so the only thing I can suggest is that she left unmarried and came back in a few weeks later for another 90 days.
