DCF in Manila

[FlorencePanting 2]

Hi guys we filed an I-130 in Manila USEM by the process of DCF (we skipped NVC stage) and we were granted an approved petition and was classified as CR-1.. and now we're just waiting for the moment of my wife's final interview.. I know we're going to pay the Visa fee but my main question is do we still have to pay the AOS fee? and btw we only received the IV Packet guide we didn't receive any AOS packet... need some serious help pls thanks!

This is a tad bit off topic, but still relevant to DCF filing, and in Manila. What did you use for proof of residency? I can't get any more replies in the thread I started, but so far I will have this to show for proof of residency.

• Community Tax Certificate
• ACR I-card
• Joint bank account, and statements
• Visa extension stamps in passport, or receipts for payments of those extensions
• Postal ID card
• Barangay clearance
• Possibly a cell phone contract

Do you think this will be enough? I'm staying with my wife so I'm not paying for rent (she lives with parents so no rent).

I used my card, rent receipts, drivers license, and joint bank account. Had no problems at all. They dont seem to be too sticky as long as you're here on a 13a.It was probably overkill, but I wanted to go there loaded..hahaha

Hi im a dual citizen, can a filipino passport work as well rather than an ACR card? thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply. I'm getting a notarized lease contract made for the visit to the embassy in August. I'll be "renting" the room in the house I'm staying in. I do have a month to month bill from Globe and I already have the bank account set up as well. Hopefully, with all that above and this -- it will be enough.

What all did they ask for when you went to file the petition for proof? Just an I-card? Does your I-card say Tourist on it?

Also....you may or may not be able to answer this but will I need the I-864 when I file, or for her interview?

Thank you again

Proof of Residency by USC Petitioner:

• Copy of Petitioners Passport from the day of arrival [ALL pages]

• NBI Clearance

• Barangay Clearance

• Cedula or Community Tax Certificate

• Western Union Remittances with Philippine address sent by his mother from U.S

• Membership Cards: SM Advantage Card, VideoCity Card

• Sworn Affidavit from mother of wife, stating that we are currently living together and resides at my wife’s house address together with her whole family. Just giving enough money to pay some of the bills for the house, but the bill is under her mother’s name ever since.
