Manila interview

[kevnles 0]

Hello VJers,

we now have my fiancees interview in Manila for May! I am now getting the I-134 ready and have a few questions I would like to ask those who may have had the interview.

1. Did you send your fiancee a copy or original letter from the NVC with the bar code?

2. It says in the I-134 "the sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources,as appropriate:" How many of you have made duplicates of statement of employment and statement from a bank officer?

3. If one is at least 3x's above the poverty level should they even include the bank officers statement or mutual fund information,or will the employment statement with the salary on the I-134 line 7 be enough? Thanks and sorry if this has been talked about before.

Hi Kevnles, I don't think the letter is one of the required documents needed for the interview. As for the I-134, they are looking to make sure you make and or have enough to support her. Try to furnish as many documents as possible. They probably won't want all of them, but it is better to be over prepared and under prepared.

In this site go to Forums, Foreign Embassy Section, Manila Embassy thread, there are lots of people there that will give you lots of info. It is a fantastic thread.

Good luck, Dean

The W-2's and old tax returns are the main proof. You can include a signed letter from the bank showing deposits if you want, and a couple of old paystub from your employer. Good luck

The most important thing is to ensure your fiancee has the notarized 134 with her, the rest can be originals or copies. They never asked for the bank letter or pay stubs during our interview, just the 134. We saw two individuals not prepared during our interview, one was filling out the 134 while waiting (no notary) and another had not paid the visa application fee and had no DS157.

All she needs to get into the embassy is the Apointment letter and a valid ID. Remeber to tell her about the new security measure and not to bring her cell phone unless she has someone outside that can hold it for her. Good luck, Ken
