4 months may be reasonable?

That is what I think.  I tried pulling the timelines, but I couldn't pull just DCF cases.  I'll try again later.

For future reference thanks to the keyword "DCF" i found this thread here and guiri2000 timeline seems to be <2 months. This makes all the difference. 

Thanks for rooting me back to this. 

The first step is to contact local consulate and inquire if they will accept the case....If they agree, you are "off to the races"!!!!!!  Good luck.

I was afraid it would fall under misrepresentation but I thought it was a way offered to american citizen having to relocate for work to bring their spouse with them. 

I quickly read about the DCF, it would imply for me to stay away from my wife for 16 months and more given the latest timelines published ? Or can I join her even without working (like waiting for an authorization but being with her)? 

I don't understand that there is not a clean way to relocate for work without the other moving spouse to have to stay behind. Maybe I am just discovering US immigration laws, sorry about my naive questions. 

Not sure what you mean "clean way" to relocate for work?  There are 100% legal ways to immigrate, but there are no sneaky ways for you to avoid the queue that everyone else is waiting in.

 

US immigration requires planning, time, money, knowledge and patience.  I suggest you both read up on it to fill in the gaps in your knowledge.
