Dual Citizenship, am I eligible?

[KOVillegas 1]

Hi everyone-- i'm really new to all of this, and hoping someone will know the answer to this. I have dual citizenship between the US and Mexico. My husband and I just got married in Mexico City (I was living there for the past 8 months) and I moved back to the US for a job. We are now going through visa process, and I wondered if it is possible for me to do DCF since I have dual citizenship? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to make this process as short as sweet as possible, and if the DCF is a possibility, I would love to know before filing the I-130!

Thank you!

You would be in you were living in Mexico. But since you moved back to the USA you can't do DCF.

Thanks for your response. So there is no option of doing DCF for me even though I have dual citizenship? If I moved back to Mexico is the only option to speed up the process?

Hi,

You would have to be living in Mexico for 6 months before you could file for DCF. So add the 6 months waiting time plus the time DCF takes

and I don't know it would be worth it.

You also have to think about your job, and if you left would you have anyone that would do your I-864 if you went back to Mexico.

Dual citizenship has no effect on eligibility for DCF.
