DCF for Filipino Spouse

[kn37 0]

I'm a US citizen, married to a Filipino spouse and we've lived in the Philippines for 8 years. We are moving to the states and didn't know about direct filing. Could we still do direct filing even if I am not in the country currently?

You must be legally resident in the country you are filing in for 6 months before filing, up to and including the time you file. Where are you now? If you have moved back to the USA, found a job there and a home, you cannot file DCF. But if you only very recently moved to the USA, and are still legally resident in the Philipines, you could go back to file there, as your US trip could be viewed as a holiday.

me and my wife are doing a DCF (interview april 1st!).... send me a message if you ever need help with anything.

yes, you can DCF if you are living with your wife here in the philippines. i think it's the best option to use.
