Direct Consular Filing - Exception Merited?
Hi everyone,
I have been researching Direct Consular Filing (DCF). Unfortunately, I cannot "file Forms I-130, Petitions for Alien Relative, with the U.S. Embassy" or consulate in Ecuador unless I "believe that (my) situation merits an exception". What types of situations/circumstances would merit an exception?
I've seen on this site that DCF may be considered in the following situations; "members of the military, emergency situations, situations involving the health or safety of the petitioner, when in the national interests of the U.S." I'm looking for more specifics that might help me to build a strong case for acceptance of my request. Like, what types of emergency, health or safety situations might make a strong case? Does being a government employee help? (I'm a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer).
