Preparing what I need to send to my fiancee for the interview

[Cam&jada 2]

Hi everyone. So I wanted to see if I could get some other eyes on my to-do list of things that I need to get to my fiancee for when she has her interview. I know that when the embassy receives the information down the road, they will send her the letter of what she needs, but I'm going to visit her next week, so I figured it would be smart to just bring everything rather than mail it to her.

So with that said, this is what I understand that she will need from me:

-A completed I-134. With this I have a copy of my W-2, a letter from my bank with the information about deposits in the past year, how much is in the account, etc, and a letter from my employer verifying my employment, how much I make, and how long I've been employed.

-I have copies of everything I sent in for the 1-129 F. Copy of my passport, copy of my birth certificate, copy of plane tickets, copies of receipts, copies of the forms we had to fill out, and copies of photos of us together.

-I have several passport pictures of me that I will give her.

-I will give her a copy of the 1-129f Approval letter.

-For proof of ongoing relationship, in addition to past photos, I will give her the plane tickets that I will have with my upcoming trip, a copy of receipt for the engagement ring, and all of the mountains of chatting and calling history that we have.

Am I missing anything??

My BIG QUESTION is I keep reading about them needing original documents. Does that apply to anything that I need to give to her? Is a copy of my passport, birth certificate, etc alright? Or is she expected to have my original pass-port and birth certificate?

Thanks everyone for your input! This forum is awesome.

Most of the original documents needed during the interview will come from the beneficiary (birth certificate, certificate of no marriage, any NBI and police clearances etc). All she needs from you for the interview is your I-134 with original signature & the evidences of support that go along with it. Also a certified copy of your divorce decree if this applies to you.

Did you send her your ITR's? I didn't see you mention them. They will ask for that during the interview in Manila.

Also, kindly update your profile as I see F-1 on it when you are going for K-1 visa. Thank you and good luck!

Everyone is a little different. Jerusalem wants my original birth certificate, her original, complete I-129 packet, proof of relationship, police certs, military discharge, etc etc. The list is actually extremely long.

I mailed her:

Original long form birth cert

Completed I-129

Completed I-134 with tax documents for last two years, proof of employment etc.

Receipt for ring

Thanks. I feel a little ignorant. I'm not sure what ITR's are.

And sorry about having it as F-1. Didn't realize that. I've updated it.

federal income tax returns (form 1040) no worries, just makes it easier for us to help when we know what visa you are going for.

Oh! haha! Yes. I have those. Thanks again, and I totally understand. MUCH appreciated.

For US citizens, getting a certified copy of your birth certificate is no big deal and does not cost a lot of money. So get one and send it to her. If she doesn't need it, you only lost a small amount of money. Get one even if you don't think you need it.

You should also include more current letter of intent to marry. The same one you submitted with the I129F package will be fine, just with a more recent date. There is a "What to send" checklist here near the bottom of the page.
