I'm a newbie on this website. I am petitioning my fiancee from the Philippines. We filed the I-129F forms ourselves. This website is very informative and I have learned a lot. Wish I knew about this website before I mailed in our forms. Now for the VISA application, I read somewhere that its best to have certified documents for the assests. Now I have a checking account and the rest of the monies are in mutual funds and in my retirement plan. Is it advisable that I ask someone financial officer to certify via signature the amount of my assets in these mutual funds/retirement plans or can I just give them the latest account statement (i.e., copies). How about my real property. I've already paid up my condo. If I were to assess it value, can I just pull a similar listing on the real estate market or should i go and have my property appraise? any help will be appreciated.

welcome to the group. I am a Filipina and we engaged the services of a lawyer in the preparation of the 129F forms. As far as I can remember, there is no need to have an appraisal of the real property since you have the purchase papers to show, only when requested. I would be helpful though to have the printed copy of the bank statement of the current account, and the other monies in the mutual/retirement. Again, just have them ready in case they are needed as proof.

Good luck in your journey.

The financial information will be asked for at the embassy stage of the process. So you did not make any mistake by not sending them along with your initial I-129F filing.

Good luck on the journey! :thumbs:

heya guys,

this is a bit off topic...and i'm not sure if you already know, but there is a mini forum for people whose cases are going thru manila

just type "manila embassy interview" in the search box and scroll thru the posts to find that topic title...somebody there should be able to help out with any questions you may have

i used to find it comforting to read about other people going thru the same process as me, kinda like a support group when everything seemed to be crawling along excruciatingly slow

and eventho im now on the aos stage i still go there from time to time to check on how the others are doing...just thought you might find it helpful too

goodluck!
