Hi, finally got the annulment decree.  We are planning to marry May 20th in the Philippines.  She has two job offers in the US starting this summer and I have a residence in the Philippines and another in the US.  From what I understand the embassy could accept to process our I-130.  How do I ask the embassy if they would process our visa?  

Thank you for your help.

In general, DCF is accepted under exceptional circumstances related to the USC needing to repatriate quickly.  Regardless, it doesn’t hurt to try.

 

This may be helpful, the process should be the same or similar at each consulate.

I think she is the Filipino well can not make sense of it otherwise so how does DCF apply?

Her job offers are irrelevant.  Your marriage confers no immigration benefits.

Sorry, I am a US male citizen marrying a Filipina

 

So from what you have said there is no DCF case

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Straight from USCIS manual on DCF and exceptional circumstances:

  • Short notice of position relocation – A U.S. citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, has received a job offer in or reassignment to the United States with little notice for the required start date.

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3
 

You, as a USC petitioner, need to have a short notice of job relocation. 
 

Looks like you have to go the regular route

I don't see how you qualify for DCF.

DCF = Direct Consular Filing. It was my honor to serve...

You mostly have your answers already, but I'm wondering how she got legitimate job offers.  If the offers are from people you know, and who know nothing about work visas, and/or just want to help you out, then they are irrelevant.  On the other hand, if these are legitimate job offers related to her special skills and a work visa is in the works, directly related to those job offers, then she could proceed with that visa process instead of the spouse visa process.  

 

For example, I have an American friend whose Pinay wife (Registered Nurse) is seeking a special work visa, instead of a spouse visa.

 

Please clarify.

The jobs are legit from assoiciates that do have a job for her.  We have an appoint at the embassy May 25th to enroll her for military benefits, we are going to see if there is some type of back door we can use to get it done, if not then i will send the application in through normal channels.  I dont think it will take that long, less than a year.  So that is our plan B.
