My fiance and I have been approved for alittle while now, we are trying to get all of our documents and such ready for the interview. First question does the embassy in manila still send out packet3 or 4 to the fiance's house or what? also do I need to send my original birthcertifacate to her or just make a copy? do we need to pay the fee before we schedule our interview? are we required to bring the ds-157 to the bank for proof of payment or do they provide the forms at BDO bank?? We are just alittle nervous , dont want to make any mistakes ......thanks so much for your help, good luck all !!!!!!

I'll reply. They gave my girl the 157 when she was at the bank. She'd already filled two on the PC so she threw one out and filled out the one the bank gave her by hand. She passed yesterday.

1. if you've been approved since may it means they won't send it anymore, just complete the list of docs required (see below)

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 signed, 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!)

2. it's better to get an interview schedule first then pay for it; they will print the receipt on a blank ds-157 , but bring your filled out one just in case.

you can also serach/browse through VJ to get more/other info specific to the philippines. good luck and god bless!

From what I've read on some threads, they let the fiance inside the embassy. Some even go with the fiancee when she's being interviewed by the CO.
