Specific details for I-129F

[kirby808 0]

Hey everyone,

I dont know how many of you have already completed getting your fiance from the Philippines to you but I was hoping to get some help. I will send my packet out soon.

I was wondering if there is anything in specific that the Philippine consulate will be looking for? People say that they are really picky so any advice on what the are picky about or the things they are looking for when someone tries to get their fiance from the Philippines?

They are "picky" about following every instruction to the last letter. I didn't rmember seeing that photos of us together had to be time-stamped so they rejected our photos. I had to send in the airline ticket stubs to prove I had been on Mindanao during the period we met.

My suggestion would be to concentrate on what the USCIS is looking for first. Your I-129f must be adjudicated (approved) by the USCIS before it is sent to the Department of State's (DOS) National Visa Center (NVC) and United States Embassy Manila (USEM).

The K1 Visa Guidewill help you see what is necessary.

Once the I-129f is received then start working on the documents for the interview.

The USEM website is a good reference and the ultiate authority. Follow the menu on the left side of the webpage to find the requirements, faqs, needed forms, etc.

Another good reference is Sheriff Uling's Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide. Ignore the Document Verification (section 4.5) information as it is no longer used and DELBROS (section 5.1) as delivery is now sent through Air21.
