There is a very good guide located in VJ as well as a participating member on this sub-forum who has a website that walks you through step by step. Here is his link.

4. Do NOT send originals of your documents.

5. All requests for citizenship appointments must be mailed or sent by courier. We recommend that you use a courier service so that you can track your packet. Drop-off requests at the Embassy will not be accepted.

11. If you need to cancel your appointment, send an e-mail in advance of your appointment date. If you do not cancel your appointment in advance, all documents mailed to us will be destroyed and you will need to start the appointment request process from the beginning (i.e., mail photocopies of documents, etc., to ACS).

Start here for DCF http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/philippines-uscis-manila-field-office

Then down to the I-130 form.

My link in the signature is for K-1 and K-2 processing which I am more familiar with. But I have additional information filed away and would like to share it with this link. Hope it helps.
