Correct.  Without more information, it doesn't look like any special circumstance.

I understand that I have not explained my special circumstances, but I'm sure you understand that I'm not wanting to delve into my medical issues on a public forum.

 

the reality for me is that I require medical treatment and I can only get the treatment I need at the VA in the US, the services I need are not available at the Manila VA clinic

 

I'll call the embassy and see what they tell me about a DCF

It's not so much of a preference for US health care, it's that I need to go back to the states for medical care, I use the VA for my medical care and and the care I need is unavailable here, so travel back to the states is mandatory for me.

Also not an emergency though.

A temporary need to be in the USA for treatment will not carry the day.  An extended severe need for home care that cannot be provided by other means, might work. Must be the truth though.

With exceptional circumstances, they'll also need paperwork to ascertain that circumstance. Good luck.

Hopefully you can fit somewhere in here if they don’t deem your case a medical emergency.
 

“Discretion

The list of examples provided above is not exhaustive. DOS may exercise its discretion to accept local Form I-130 filings for other emergency or exceptional circumstances of a non-routine nature, unless specifically noted below. However, such filings must be truly urgent and otherwise limited to situations when filing with USCIS online or domestically with an expedite request would likely not be sufficient to address the time-sensitive and exigent nature of the situation”

 

With discretion, you don’t always have predictable results. We’ve seen people denied for starting school programs and others accepted. Even a valid exceptional circumstance doesn’t compel the embassy to take your petition. All you can do is present your case and hope for the best.
