Well no, but under other reasons you can file a DCF in Mexico City other than relocation "medical emergencies" is listed as a reason you can file for DCF.

Are you wanting your husband to be able to visit the US, or do you want him to live in the US with you?

Medical emergency applies if you, the USC spouse, needed treatment in the US.  It would not apply if it's your father who has a medical emergency.

To visit if there is a funeral. But eventually he will move with me to the USA, but we're not interested in moving out of Mexico for at least another year.

Okay, that's what I was wondering, thank you.

Usually a medical emergency would be something more immediate than that.

Then a DCF is premature at this time. Did you read the earlier comments about how long it takes for a CR-1/IR-1?

Your husband can apply for a B2 tourist visa, and ask for an expedited interview based on your father's failing health.  Your husband would file a DS-160 and pay $160.  If approved, he could visit the US with you.  Wait time for a normal B2 interview in Mexico is 630 days, so in your case they may approve an expedite, no harm in trying:

 

Qualifications for an Expedited Interview Appointment

Consular sections overseas may be able to expedite your interview date if there is an urgent, unforeseen situation such as a funeral, medical emergency, or school start date. The process to request an expedited nonimmigrant visa interview varies by location. You should refer to the instructions on the website of the Embassy or Consulate Visa Section  where you will interview, or on their online appointment scheduling site. You will need to provide proof of the need for an earlier appointment.

In all cases: You must first submit the online visa application form (DS-160), pay the application fee, and schedule the first available interview appointment. Only at this point will a consular section consider your request for an expedited appointment.

Thank you very much for that information. That's really helpful and I think that will be the route I take should the worst happen. Thank you kindly.

He should apply right now. Even an expedite will take a while. Don't expect it to be a thing of a couple days.

Was the causation of the cardiac arrest the same?
