Looks like they did DCF in Spain.

DCF in spain does not exist.

They probably filed "from abroad" to get the typical "auto expedite"

Thank you so much for the info! So upon reading this, a new question comes up for me

. The I-864 is the Affidavit of Support form that requires copies of the petitioners past 3 U.S tax returns (or tax transcripts which are free from the IRS) as well as any bank or financial records available (see the I-864 for exact requirements based on your case).

I haven´t lived in the states since I finished High School. Therefore I have never filed taxes there. Anybody in a similar situation? What should I do in this case?

This board is being extremely helpful, I really appreciate people taking the time to help out with this!

All US Citizens are required by law to file their taxes no matter where they live in the world, if they were working and making more than a few thousand dollars a year. You will need to go and file all your back taxes.

And how would this work?

When it was an option - it meant you filed direct with the local embassy (which was faster) if you lived abroad. Spain doesn't let you do that anymore, though. So it wouldn't work for you.

I meant the filing from abroad the auto expedite, if you think that´s what they did since DCF cannot be done in Spain anymore.

Thanks!

Blah. Apparently I can't read today. I'm sorry.

So, the countries that used to have DCF appear to be auto-expedited at the I-130 stage if both of the couple live abroad. So, if you file your I-130 and they see your address is in Spain, you may get an auto-expedite (i.e. it'll be faster than the average). It might not work, and there's nothing else you can specifically do to trigger this expedite, other than have your address listed on the forms be abroad.

It is what I was explaining earlier. Because you have no local office if you file from abroad the main office has to deal with your petition. They normally do this within the first 3 months as it generally takes that long for them to get to a petition and decide where to send it. That is the "auto-expedite" which is merely because there is no local office of the petitioner.
