Check the GUIDES. Most everything is there.

Start off by having your lady get at least 3 Certified copies of all NSO documents that apply to your case. Also have her get NBI clearance. NSO CENOMAR also.

Thank you very much. I read over the guides but my head is spinning. I don't even know where to begin. Do they still send her a packet? I filed but how will she know when she can go to the embassy? Do they still send a letter or can she call? She is not at the address that is on her form anymore. Thank you so much

You have to get your NOA2 approval before anything happens.

The problem is that I don't even know what paperwork she needs. I want her to do her paperwork now but I don't knwo what to do. Is there any step that we might forget that would take a long time to complete?

I am reading about DOCUMENT VERIFICATION....What documents does she need this doen for?

Will they call her or just send something in the mail? What if it never arrives? She doesn't live at the address anymore.

Sorry I am so lost

First go here: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3204.html

This is the US Embassy site for Manila. You can get most if not all your answers from there. They change things around in March of this year, your fiance now has to call or you can call to make her interview appointment once they recieve the Petition from NVC. NVC will send you a letter with your case # starting with MNLxxxxxxxx, you can use the approved letter from NVC to take the medical, without even having an interview scheduled yet. They do not send out the packet anymore, you have to download it from their site(link I gave you, poke around the links on the left). When you/she calls for the interview, they will advise you about the medical, what to bring, etc, and then send a confirmation email to your fiance about the interview. If you call, you have to pay $18 for a PIN and you will be able to talk to someone @ the embassy, but it is only good for 2 calls, as I just found out today when I called, I heard people say it's good for 3 calls, but that's not what the recording said when I was doing it today..

As of October, Document Verification is suspended for now, so keep an eye on the link I gave you if they decide to start that up again, as it caused a serious backlog on petitions, hence they suspended it for now.

Your fiance also has to attend a CFO seminar before she can leave the Philippines, it's required, and they stamp her passport so she can leave.

Just study up from the link I gave you and you should be all set, also, check out the sub-forum section, Philippines, you can find alot of answers there as well, just do a search in that forum for a question you might have, I'm sure it's been answered before..

Good luck on your journey!!

Ingats!!

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Your fiancee will receive lists of all the documents she will need to bring on her interview.Am sure she will have enough time to gather all these documents by that time. Good luck.
