Hi @usamax, just wanted to share my experience in case it helps. I initially reached out to the ACS email address provided on their website, but didn't get a response even after sending a follow-up email a week later. I ended up calling them and discovered that the correct email address was different than the one I had used. Interestingly, the correct email address they provided matched the one listed on VisaJourney for the consulate (I filed with a different consulate). So, to prevent any delays, you may want to consider calling them to verify the correct email address. Here's the link to the Visa Journey Taiwan consulate thread, where you can find the email address: Taipei, Taiwan US Consulate Information. Hope this helps!

Others have managed as per this post: I would strongly recommend contacting the consulate and inquiring, they might be able to help @Eberechi

If you've already submitted an application through USCIS, using the DCF route might not be an option. While I'm not fully familiar with the Nigeria process, a quick online search indicates that some people have successfully taken this route. I recommend considering a Google search or exploring forums like VisaJourney/Reddit for further insights. DCF can certainly provide a quicker pathway – many people do it under exceptional circumstances like a job offer from a US employer. Some US embassies might assist you even without an exceptional circumstance though (usually for uncomplicated cases without dependents, previous marriages, criminal records, etc.). A possibility would be to email the embassy to explain your situation and inquire if they would accept your case (after confirming that you meet all DCF requirements; such as the minimum 6 month residency abroad requirement). If they do, you can consider withdrawing your USCIS application and pursue the DCF process (this might be a risky thing to do so you have to take many things into consideration here). Do your research. I'm not a lawyer, but these are just my personal thoughts; while I don't know the specifics of your situation, I do know the struggles of this process. Hope this helps.

Hello everyone, I'm a U.S. citizen and I'm in the process of completing the I-864 form. I've got a question about demonstrating that my spouse's job will carry on once we're in the U.S. We're relying on his income as part of our household income to meet the financial requirements, but there's a twist – my spouse is self-employed and works remotely. We're a bit uncertain about the best way to prove this. Currently, we're considering using bank statements and a well-established contract from the company he's collaborating with. Do you think these documents would be sufficient to show the ongoing nature of my spouse's job in this situation? Also, do we need to fill out the I-864A in our case since we don't have any kids? Your advice would be incredibly helpful for us. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your response! It was sort of an unforeseen event, although we've been together for a long time, we've only married recently. I would have definitely applied through USCIS otherwise.

Hi everyone! I am a U.S. citizen currently living abroad for several years now for studies, and got married here in the meantime. My studies though are coming to an end in a couple of months and my student visa here is expiring, so I want to go back home to the U.S. with my husband as my purpose for being here has come to an end. Would this be considered an exceptional circumstance? I don't currently have a job offer but I will be working in the States. I hope you guys can help me out. Thank you!
