Slightly off topic, but as a dual UK/US citizen, if I were to marry an UK citizen, and than decided to move back to the States within 2 years,  can I assume that I can go through the DCF process?

Thanks.

Yep. :) You'd be applying as a US Citizen to get your UK spouse into the US through marriage. Providing that you actually live in the UK at the time, this is the process you'd go through.
I'm done moving. Unrepatriated back to the UK, here for good!

bvamin - I second what Marlespro said. she's spot on.

a note to Amy, you dont HAVE to apply via DCF. You can apply through the service centers in the US. It might take a bit longer than on DCF but it surely wont take two years! Also you might have the option of applying for a visa that will allow your husband to join you in the USA while the applications are processing. Its a special visa that helps ensure a family unit stay together during long application periods. You can find out more on the "INS" website. It might be something to look into anyway.

best of luck!
