Hi sis, here's the list for the interview:

1. DS-160 https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx

2. Passport

3. NSO Birth certificate

4.NBI Clearance

5. POlice Clearance

6. Proof of relationship

7. Divorce Decree (if any)

8. CENOMAR

9. Affidavit of Support (1-134)

10. Visa photos

11. Medical

HERE IS THE STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO HELP FOR FIANCE’S EMBASSY STAGE (MANILA):

Normally, a week or two after you received the NOA2 from the USCIS, NVC (National Visa Center) will send you an email/letter with an assigned case number (starts with MNL) to your petition and informing you that they will forward your paper to the local Consular Office in Manila.

Also, your fiance should receive a PACKET from the local consular office in the Philippines that contains specific instructions. She has to CAREFULLY follow the instructions and come up with the civil documents that will be required from her, if any.

READ the PACKET of Instruction below to see the checklist for Beneficiary:

You can verify if your petition is ready for processing at the local consulate. Provide the MNL number on the link below

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==

Immediately, provide copy/details of the email/letter you received from the NVC so the alien beneficiary can pay for the embassy fee. The alien needs this information when they pay the embassy fee ($240) to any Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). The alien beneficiary must inform the bank that he/she is paying for the K1/Fiance Visa and to bring their passport with them.

Note: The bank has a specific bank deposit slip for K1/Fiance. They need to bring this slip when paying at the bank. Click on the link below to print out the slip.

After paying the embassy fee, Log in back to your account to fill out the electronic DS-160 form. Make sure to print it after successfully submitting the DS-160.

NOTE:

Effective immediately, all K visa applicants are required to complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. The DS-160 replaces forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230.

For K visa cases already in process at a U.S. embassy or consulate, the DS-160 is not required when, prior to October 7, 2013, one of the following situations exist:

• The K visa applicant is already scheduled for an interview.

• The K visa applicant has already been interviewed and has been requested to submit additional documentation or is pending administrative processing.

• The K visa applicant has already submitted a valid, signed, unexpired DS-156, DS-156K and/or DS-230 or received instructions to do so.

After paying the embassy fee, Wait for at least 12-24 hours before you make an appointment for the embassy interview. There are two steps to do this, either the alien beneficiary go on-line or call the consular office. See the link below for details for this procedure. (We suggest that you make an appointment online).

REGISTER ONLINE FOR EMBASSY INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT (create an account first and go from there)

As soon as the alien beneficiary already have an appointment date for the interview at the local US embassy, you now have an idea as to when the alien beneficiary will have to travel to Manila. (WHEN FIANCEE IS BASED AND CURRENTLY LIVES IN THE PROVINCE)

At this point in time, log back in to your RapidVisa account. You need to prepare your Affidavit of Support. This is included in your RapidVisa account. Print this document, SIGNED IN ORIGINAL INK, and gather all the documents that will go with this form before mailing them to your fiance physically. The alien beneficiary needs this document at the embassy stage.

For the required medical exam for the alien beneficiary, visit the link below:

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR THE MEDICAL EXAM

ONLINE REGISTRATION LINK FOR THE MEDICAL EXAM

http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

NOTE: This is a first-come, first-served basis. This should be done one week before the interview. Make sure to bring the print out of the on-line registration to St. Luke's Extension clinic at the day of the medical examination.

Finally, after the alien beneficiary is issued their K-1 visa, they need to attend a mandatory seminar required by the Philippine Government. See the link below for that:

The above information should only serve as your guidance and should only not be regarded as the normal process as there are different situation for each K1 applicants.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The application fee for a K1 or K2 nonimmigrant visa is US$240, payable only in Philippine pesos at the prevailing exchange rate. There are three ways to pay the K visa application fee: cash payment at any Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) branch; online payment bill option provided by BPI to their clients; or online payment through Bancnet.

For additional information, please visit http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph. This visa fee is non-transferrable and is valid for one year.

Once you have paid your visa application fee, you may schedule your appointment for your visa interview. To do so, please visit the U.S. Embassy in Manila’s Visa Information and Appointment Service online at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph or call (632) 982-5555 or (632) 902-8930.

That is a big being you are K-1. Yes he will have to send you the I-134 with copies of his most recent tax return and W-2 (2012 at the moment will do)

[Manileña Heart 0]

I second Hank_ and the I-134 has to come with the actual written signature of your fiancé

Hi CecileH, just a tip, make sure that your Cenomar reflects the names of your parents as they exactly appear in your birth certificate. You can just order that and your BC online and they will deliver it straight to your home

Thank you Hank and CnYForever... Always very helpful...

Another quetion please, u said they were asking police clearance recently, that means i better have one ready for interview then?

[Hank_ 9,174]

You asked that same question a week or so back; http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/431950-police-clearance/?p=6738459

And the answer is yes.

Read the embassy instructions letter, EVERYTHING listed there is required. And for police clearance that means if you have lived in another country since the age of 16 for 6 months or more... you are required to have a police clearance from that country.

Follow the flashing arrow for details.

Oh yes that one in older post i meant Police Clearance from other country.... do i need Philippine Police Clearance too?

[Hank_ 9,174]

Nope. Only NBI as stated in the embassy instructions letter. You really need to read the embassy instructions letter a few times, print it out and use it as your check list even.
