Questions about documents

[danvil101 0]

I am a Filipino, currently working here in Saudi Arabia and have ah IR1/CR1 visa application in process. We are on the stage of gathering the required documents and paying the IV fee. I have some few questions about the procedure:

First, is it ok to pay the IV fee even without having all the required documents yet? I'll be expecting for my NBI & PCC withing 1-3 weeks.

Second, do I have to submit the original documents or photocopy only to NVC along with the DS-230? I read some guidelines and it says, it depends on the embassy/country we are processing the visa.

Third, we are already married for almost 2 years and we have our marriage certificate available. Do I still need to prepare proof of our relationship (i.e. pictures, receipt, conjugal property documents, etc.) and submit the same along with the DS-230?

I will be able to obtain all these documents, but it's the transfer of the documents takes some time. I just want to make sure what are the actual requirements and when it will be required. If it's ok to submit the photocopy, it will be better, if not, then I'll just have to wait till I have all the documents before I proceed to the next step.

Sorry, I forgot to mention. We decided to do it here in Saudi Arabia. Need to keep my work to help with the expenses and fly directly to US once approved.
