  1. So to be clear, I'm not trying to fabricate anything - I'm working on locking down a job, but much of my decision-making is whether or not I may be separated from my wife in two years if I accept it and DCF turns out to not be available in Vienna (which is why I'm no fan of the consular processing, for the length). I'd very much like the job because it would get me out of a not good financial situation and would return me to the US, but I just want to know if DCF is a possible option for her if I take the job, because two years apart is nightmarish. But your question is precisely why I'm nervous to ask the Vienna embassy ahead of time if they do DCF - I do not want to come across as if it is fabricated.
  2. Thank you both @Boiler and @powerpuff! This was my thinking, I just wanted to double-check. The next question - I have no job lined up yet. I'm hoping to have one soon, but there is nothing definitive. I don't know if the consulate in Vienna does DCF or not; I've seen that it flat-out does not, that it does, and that Frankfurt does it instead on Vienna's behalf. If I contact the consulate asking if they do it, will that make a future DCF petition seem sketchy (like if I were to ask them this week if they do it at all and then in 3 months say "I got a job can I do DCF" - will that look fishy to them? Or is asking those questions fairly normal without any risk?
  3. I (American) and my wife (Austrian) are hoping to move to the US. She has no Green Card. I'm working on getting a job and will hopefully have one soon, but am unsure if the consulate will go for DCF. We talked to a US-based lawyer and he said it was unlikely in general, but I feel like he may not have been aware of how DCF works since he said the I-130 had to go to the US first. He also said that, unless the position was of some sort of government significance, it would be unlikely for any consulate to do DCF. Is this true? I was under the impression that any job could technically qualify, so long as it's not a temporary/contract position. What are your experiences (in Vienna or in general)?
