The only place their is DCF IS AT EMBASSY'S THAT HAVE A USCIS OFFICE!!!

And in that case, it's not really DCF. :)

If I were a USC NOT resident in my spouse/STB spouse's country, I would not plan on filing an I-130 overseas in the near future. If you are in that situation, you could start researching your other filing options (as most folk seem to have).

If you are a USC who is resident abroad, see if you can't wait another couple of weeks before filing--it really won't make much difference in the long run, but it could benefit your greatly in the short run.

For the rest of you who HAVE filed, all you can do is sit tight and trust that you're not going to have to start over from scratch. They WILL find a way to complete your case in short order.

Thanks for correction, you are right, not DCF ;) I have been reading alot of threads and there is so much bad info and false hope being put out there. I called a few embassy's and USCIS, and DOS and none have the same answer. The only real answer, I feel I got, was from the Ukraine embassy that told my wife that our approved petition was sent to Moscow, and now sits in a box till they decide how to process AFTER THEY GET INSTRUCTIONS. I would say that was an honest answer.

That's exactly what I was told by the office in Perú. It's a waiting game folks. I'm praying that they'll get the fixed soon.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Everyone should contact their nearest embassy/consulate/USCIS office and ask about their policy directly

I agree that there is too much "hearsay" and not enough concrete information. I'm surprised at how many VJers are able to comb the forums for any kind of information, but unable to contact the embassy/consulate/USCIS office for accurate details

stop posting and start calling/emailing !

This is a good point... I guess we will find out soon enough after the upheaval is over!

The information I keep posting is comming directly from my friends working with USCIS in Moscow.

My posts are meant to keep giving everyone every bit of news I recieve.

Moscow has recieved multiple boxes of petitions and work has already begun on processing them.

The news I post though is only coming from the one office though so other areas of the world may be getting different news and information than me.

Take my news however you like to.

:innocent:
