Hi! Couples that have filled Direct Consular Filling, we need some advice. We requested if we could submit our case though DCF (in Peru), originally our embassy had told us that the our request had been accepted. They gave us a list of documents to collect and explained the process and asked us to let them know when we had our documents ready. After we confirmed this they gave us an appointment date. The problem starts when we the appointment date conflicted with an scheduled trip to reunite(visit) my family after a couple of years, also this trip was non refundable. We explained the situation and apologize for requesting a new appointment date (only a few days in the future), they answered by just asking for my phone number. A few days later the Immigration Visa Chief Officer called to clarify details of our case and situation. After some questions about our case and situation, he ended up saying that apparently we weren’t urgently in need to do a DCF, and that maybe there was a mistake on the approval of our case. His conclusion was mainly because, my spouse and I, were both working at the time in my spouse home country. Plus I was doing online collage. This happened almost half a year ago, and now our employment situation has changed, and my school situation as well as I’m soon to finish it and will need an internship in my studied field. We were told one of the reasons they could allow us to file direct counselor filing would be if I had a job offer that required me to be in the United States and without another form of income however USCIS will still need to approve our case based on urgency. This is currently our situation. We need some legal advice on how to proceed with our current situation and the past inconvenience that we just explained. Has someone experienced something similar? We would like to get some advice on the topic to consider the option of reapplying for a DCF. Any advice would be highly appreciated or if someone could recommend us a lawyer we could speak with that has experience in these type of case. Thank you in advance.
