 just un-domicile from where i am and then come back again and domicile.

 

 

thanks for the input though

You can still apply for DCF. You need to be there at the moment of filing the initial I130, after that you're free to move to the US. This is what many couples did when DCF was more common: apply for 130, US citizen moves back to the US to start job/establish domicile/get a head start on moving/etc, US citizen returns to foreign country to attend the interview if the embassy requires/allows it. Not all embassy's require the US citizen attend, and some (ex: Juarez, Mexico), explicitly prohibit anyone but the beneficiary from attending.

 

As always, double check with your embassy but that this was very common.
