We did not have to attach the photos to the DS-156. The instructions we read (that I can't seem to find now) said to bring 3 photos for the medical. One was for St. Luke's records, the other two got forwarded to the embassy with the medical results. This may not be the case now, so if you didn't turn in your two extra photos at the medical then be sure to bring them to the interview. For our purposes, they were already submitted.

So, if you turn in the extra two photos at the medical, there is no need to attach them to the forms.

As for the local police clearance(s), I agree with the interpretation that it is not required if you have the NBI clearance. My fiancée is overly cautious, and decided to get a local police clearance too. It certainly didn't hurt, but if you don't have one I wouldn't worry about it. Unless, of course, you lived out of the Philippines for more than 6 months. Then you need police clearances from the COUNTRIES in which you stayed.

I think that some of the confusion in what to bring to the interviews comes from reading other people's experiences. I know that my fiancée would read someone else's report, and if they said that they brought copies of every travel receipt they ever had together, my fiancée would then assume it must have been required.

Read the instructions here and comply, you will be fine.

This is a checklist that I made for our interview. We had no problems or issues at all.

With the I-134 affidavit of support, be sure to read the instructions carefully. The accompanying proof depends on what the petitioner is using as his basis for support. If he is relying on income, then he needs W-2 forms, pay stubs, and a letter from his employer. If he is relying on assets, then he needs proof of the assets, such as bank or investment statements. I took some bank statements even though they were not strictly required. It is better to take too much than not enough!

Good Luck & Ingats!

I have a question on your list.

Under interview requirements, it shows: "photos (2 turned in at medical) - Beneficiary"

Are these the photos that get attached to the DS-156? I have seen other instructions that indicate that you are required to bring one photo to the medical exam and attach one to the 2 copies of the DS-156. Your list seems to only indicate the need for 2 photos. Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks.

true enough... It did to me, now I minimize reading whatever and just rely on official websites. And whatever is not stated on those official websites, are the things that are not that necessary but like others have said also...it wouldn't hurt you if you have every little thing ready so just go girl!

By The way God Bless sa interview.

Congrats on your inteerview date. Pardon me tagging along a question, but I didn't see the need for a new post.

Is a photocopy of the NBI Clearance sufficient? The DFA took the original when my fiance' filed for her passport.

Whaddya think?

I don't think so, but I am not sure. the NBI website says it will not accept a copy from people that are trying to renew their clearance, but I have not seen anything from USEM website about this. Make sure that it states that it is for travel abroad.
