Sorry @Boiler - That was a response from my phone. It's tough to respond in that way.
What I was trying to articulate is:
When scheduling an appointment at the embassy, whether for passport, citizen services, etc. There is an option for "Notary Services, Other".
That is the one that I selected. As it so happens, my 2nd passport is expiring this month and I've another meeting next week to renew that. Maybe there I can speak to someone at the consulate about the DCF. If not successful, then I will go to them the following week.
I have a again emailed the pragueivp@state.gov and am getting the same canned response.
@Crazy Cat - I believe you are right, however, when I called the embassy, I get routed to a Philipino call center and there they said I have to go that route and file with USCIS. I'm loath to rely on a foreigners interpretation of rules and destroy my one chance to get back home.
Here is the response from PragueIVP:
