Living in Uruguay - Can We Do DCF?

[lanie86 0]

Hi everyone, new in here.

This is my case. I'm Uruguayan married with a Puerto Rican, we live here in Uruguay.

He moved here to study, He is registered in the Registry Office of the State. since October 2011

He don't have Uruguayan document, but he have certificate of inscription (it is like birth certificate)

I wonder, it is the same? He can do the DCF here?

And my second question is, all the embassies in the world have this system?

I appreciate the answer.

Thank you a lot!

Hi! Not all embassies or consulates can do DCF now. They used to, but it changed a year ago. Now, only the ones on this list can do DCF:

Uruguay is not one of those, unfortunately. But if he files the standard way to the Chicago Lockbox while living in Uruguay, and puts his Uruguayan address on the I-130 petition, he is very likely to experience expedited processing. A lot of people living abroad who have filed to the Chicago Lockbox have experienced this recently. His chances of faster processing may increase if he includes a cover letter specifying that he is filing while living abroad, and if he includes something that proves he is legally residing there. I have no idea about the documents you mention, but anything that shows that Uruguayan immigration has permitted him to live in the country for a period of time, something more than a tourist visa.
