It seems to be a recently implemented thing, but on the SF consulate’s website it says the ERFS is needed for even a spouse visa. We checked it out and it seems to be for only businesses/schools to use. Since my husband’s parents are my sponsors I don’t think we can use this. Also tried looking it up and can’t find any information pertaining to how those applying for a spouse visa can apply for the ERFS. Any one have this issue?
