I understand the DCF option is closing. I understand the facility has already closed in other parts of the world. I understand DCF London is also scheduled for closure and this may be early 2020.

Has a more precise date for closure of DCF London been made known?

TIA

Rete

Nothing has been announced.

If it does close it will be by August 2020.

However London is expecting to close no later than March 10, and possible by the end of this month.

Where does it say London is closing?

I saw that 13 will close, 12 of which are announced, one more to pick.

I'd be surprised if London was To go

It doesn't say London is closing. I said London is expecting to close, we'll see by March 10th if I was right, or not.

Thanks for all the replies.

Its tough not knowing for sure.😟

without arguing semantics wher does this hunch that London is expected to close and the march bthe 10th date come from?

A friend of mine who works for USCIS. Whether she is right or not I have no idea, but she seems fairly sure the USCIS office in London is closing.

Thanks again for all replies. My US Spouse and I will be completing our i-130 this weekend with a view to using DCF London.

As far as I can ascertain, the forms required are i-130, i-130a and the form outlining financial support (i-864?) as both my wife and I are located in Scotland at the moment.

Are these forms printed then signed and sent hardcopy to US Embassy in London?

Thanks for all your guidance.

The I-864 is not sure until your in -person interview. You'll bring it with you to that appointment.

Yes, originals are mailed to London.

Don't forget all your evidence as outlined on the Embassy website.

​​​​​​​So the i-864 is not sent with the i-130, i-130a and the G-1145. Only the completed i-130, i-130a and the G-1145 is mailed to US Embassy along with the requested supporting evidence. Correct?

Noorah101

Sorry for my typo. Correct, the I-864 is NOT sent with the I-130 package. It is brought with you to the interview.

Thank you.

I did get what you were saying but just wanted to be doubley sure​​​​​​.
Having gone through the minefield (and blindfolded too) that is the current UK Visa System I needed to fully understand.

Thanks for your help.
