We need the details about DCF visa.

1. Is it different from k-3 visa.

2. How much time it takes?

3. What is d procedure for that?

4. Whether we need to apply k-3 if we have already applied for Dcf?

From where we can get information about Dcf???

GGT -- DCF is much different from the K3 visa -- if you are filing DCF from India, they you must be a US citizen living in India (from what I have gathered from different posts). THis is a pretty generic site, but try visiting http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/ and also go though the pinned article in this forum.

Good luck,

KP

GGT -- from what I understand, she needs to be employed (or working in some capacity) in India in order to be eligible to petition for you as her husband (fiance deal will not work). You guys will have to get married. BUT... I don't think she can go to India on a tourist VISA, stay there for 2-4 months, get married to you, apply DCF and bring you back with her. The reason for the DCF is the USC does not have the opportunity to go back to the US and file for the spouse because of employent or other reasons.

Anyone else, please jump in to correct me...

Cheers,

KP

she is nt living india right now???

but she is coming to india. nd will there for 2-3-4 months

GGT: The answer is "NO".

To file via DCF in India, the US citizen MUST be resident in India. The rules are clearly stated in the links provided.

http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/uscisi130pet.html

Effective June 1, 2006, U.S. citizens who wish to file an I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) for their immediate relatives must provide evidence that they are residents of India. Proof of such residency will include a U.S. passport with an appropriate long-term, valid Indian visa and a Registration Report and Residential Permit issued by the Foreigner’s Regional Registration Office (FRRO) of the Government of India. Additional evidence should include, but is not limited to, on-going employment in India, taxes paid in India, rent/property receipts, and utility receipts in India. In most instances a finding of residency cannot be made with less than 90 days continuous presence in India.

After you marry, ask your wife to file a petition for you in the US.

GGT is absolutely right. I went to the Delhi embassy 3 weeks back after staying in the country for 2 months and was denied the right to apply. The rules upto May 31, 2006 were that you could do DCF if you lived in the country for 60 days. As CGT said the rules were changed and it is no longer possible to file unless you are a resident of India.

Thanks a lot.
