My direct consular filing was denied by Tokyo due to insufficient evidence even though i provided as much evidence as possible. As a result I’ll have to decline the job and find another English teaching job in Japan with my wife. Since she’s pregnant and no other options than to apply through a lockbox and timelines are about 2 years. 
 

my concern is we had already planned to visit USA for thanksgivings would this filing at the us embassy be on record with USCIS and will cause my wife to be sent back to Japan as they may believe we are trying to move to USA after DCF was denied? I read that they don’t file for USCIS but worried that this will create a problem when we try to visit together for the first time

Ooops DCF is for people who are moving not thinking of moving

Without knowing what evidence you provided - just having a job offer back in the US isn't really enough for DCF - friends that went through that process were all on temporary assignment and were able to show that their current employer needed them back in the US ASAP, none were in the eikaiwa business. It will also be a factor how long you've been in Japan to determine if you (still) have a US domicile.

 

Denied DCF should not be a blocker for visiting on ESTA, does she already have one? Round-trip tickets and anything showing that both of you have strong ties to Japan will be helpful.

Thank you for the response. Would I print these documents to show them we have a pet, lease and round trip tickets. She does not have an ESTA but will be applying for one again soon 

 

The proof we provided was an accepted job offer and stated wife is pregnant however they stated that since I had listed a address in US in the contract in Maine(my friends) they believe I was in the US and received this offer prior to my move here which makes no sense.. I have to have a US address to accept the offer so they could send paperwork 

 

they stated that once they make a decision you can’t appeal or provide additional context. Wondering if this is for a time period or indefinite where I cannot apply again.

They may be confused and assume you moved back to the US.

 

VWP requires proof of return ticket or onward travel.

@TonyaJackson Can I ask what the process was? Did you request DCF via email and got denied? Or did you get approved at first, and then denied after filing the I-130 petition?

I have never come across any mention of any limitations on the number of times you can apply.
