direct consular filing in canada

[mrm53 0]

Hi everyone

I am the USC I have been living in canada as a permanent residence for 2 years with my wife. I filed a I-130 for my wife so we can move to my hometown I was told by USCIS I had to file with the Chicago lockbox I did so on Jan17th I got NOA 1 saying it was sent to NBC. Was this the wrong info they gave me? On this site under guides US Citizen and Spouse both live/reside overseas it says direct consular filing that Current DCF procedures state that if a US Citizen lives overseas they may file the I-130 for a foreign spouse, child or parent at the US Consulate / USCIS Field Office governing their place of residence. In most cases permanent residence abroad must be legally established for a period of six months prior to submitting an I-130 petition.

Thanks for any help and info as we are hoping to move by mid year

Found my answer in other forum that it can't be done in Canada.

Thanks
