My fiance is from the philippines and working in Israel. Almost 10 years she's worked in Israel. She has two kids but they live back in the philippeans with grandma. I've submitted the I-129F and recieved the NOA1. However, I'm now working on the next phases of the paperwork and need input.

1. Can she use a copy of her birth certificate for the interview or does she need an actual brith certificate from the Philippine government? Also, will she need the kids birth certificates even if they aren't going?

2. Can she request the police reports now? She will need 2, one from the philippines and one from Israel. Do I have to wait until NOA2?

3. On the I-134 do I really need a letter from an officer at the bank. Or can I print the certificate of deposits? Its the same certificate of deposits I send for loans and I've had no issues, plus the bank is only an online bank so I have no idea whom I would contact. I should qualify off salary alone but figured I should have it just incase since gathering documents while in Israel is sort of a pain.

Thanks for your help!

1. We used a notarized copy of the birth certificate for the interview.

2. We waited until NOA2 to make sure the information was fresh. If it's within 1 month, then you should be okay.

3. I'm not sure about the Phililppines, as our K-1 was for China, but we used an official bank printed statement. If it's an online bank, maybe they can mail you an official letter, if you ask them?

Good luck.

Thanks Simeon. The generated certificate of deposit is a bank statement certifing your deposits in all accounts. I think it will be fine since I qualify on just annual salary alone. It's more of providing more information for them.

I'll just have to get the birth certificate, do you know if she needs the kids even though they won't be at the interview or going to the US?

Hi watdog,

Sweet! Thanks for clearing that up for me. You guys rock!

It also asks for my original but I left that in the states and just brought a copy from the I-129F. Does she need my original as well?

Will she be processing the visa in Israel? If so then you need to follow the embassy instructions letter as to what is required. For the Philippines NSO provides the certificated copies of birth certificate and I believe the embassy will want certified copies. As for proof of singleness again NSO provided the CENOMAR.

Don't need anything for the children if they are not apply for a visa also.

I would not wait for the NOA2 to request the NBI. Regarding police certificates from the Philippines those are acquired from NBI and take upward of 8 weeks to receive when requested from a foreign country.

No sure what the embassy in Israel requires for the supporting documents regarding the I-134, but USEM requires the most recent tax return and W-2, bank statements and such are secondary unless needed to prove assets for meeting the poverty guidelines and are MAY be included type evidence. Need to go by the embassy instructions letter as to their requirements.

Yes, we will be processing in Israel. Actually, I have to call and change the embassy to Jerusalem now as apparently Tel Aviv doesn't do any K visa's anymore. Here is the information from the Jerusalem site.

Apply for any required police certificates as soon as we provide you the application with Packet 3, and in any event, at least four weeks before your interview. Police certificates are required from all locations where the beneficiary has lived for more than 6 months after the age of 16. All Palestinian ID holders living in the West Bank or Gaza must apply for both a police certificate from the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Interior AND an Israeli police certificate from the Israeli DCO (Civil Liaison Office) in their place of residence.

Since she is currently in Israel and hasn't visited the Philippines for a few months should she request now? Her visa stamp would show that she hasn't left Israel.
