Me and my wife got married in the US while she was here
visiting me. We are having the ceremony in japan for her family. Can
I still do a DCF in tokyo even though we were married in the states?
She is leaving in a week to help her family prepare for the wedding,
so she cant stay here. Basically, can you still DCF in another
country even if you werent married their?

Basically, it's totally up to the Consulate. Have you been in touch with them about your case? (sorry if you have and I don't remember).

For what it's worth, I think it's OK, but I'd certainly check.

Here's the link for the embassy in Tokyo. Looks like you're in luck.

Do call them first to verify, these things can change on a whim. Also, make sure you get ALL your paperwork in order prior to filing, it makes things alot easier. Good Luck.......(Hey Meauxna!!)
