My finace's appointment is this Feb. Do I need to give her a copy of the I-129 or just the DS forms and proof of relationship?

She should be familiar with everything in the I-129F as they could ask her questions about anything in it. I've been making a list of things to do and to bring for my fiancee's interview. I have compiled this from many sources here and elsewhere. Here's the latest revision:

VISA Interview at US Embassy Manila

Before Interview:

· Pay Interview fee of $100USD at BPI. If they don't want to stamp the DS-157 we have already filled up then just take the form they give you and fill it up.

Bring:

· Appointment Letter original and 1 copy.

· Valid photo ID (NBI badge?) and 1 copy.

· VISA Application Forms

DS-156 (2 completed and signed forms with photos glued on, and 1 copy).

DS-156K (2 completed and signed forms, and 1 copy). DO NOT SIGN BEFORE INTERVIEW!

DS-157 (2 completed and signed form – 1 must be stamped with BPI payment, and 1 copy)

DS-230, part 1 (2 completed and signed forms, and 1 copy).

· Fiancé affidavit of support form (I-134F, notarized).

· Fiancé employment letter, copies of W-2 forms, pay stubs, bank statements.

· Fiancé last 3 years income tax forms (copies of 1040 form).

· Passport original and 1 copy (St. Luke’s will take the original during the medical and send to the Embassy).

· Original NSO Birth Certificate, original and 1 copy (they might take the original or copy).

· CENOMAR original and 1 copy (they might take the original or copy).

· NBI Clearance with "For US Travel" or "For Travel Abroad" stamp, original and 1 copy (they might take the copy).

· Passport-sized photos (at least 2, with name on back, for the DS-156 forms).

· Evidence of ongoing relationship (pictures, snail mail, email, phone records, receipts).

· New letter of intent from me.

· NOA2 and NVC letter and copies (to show spelling error)

· Copy of original I-129F packet with original receipts, etc.

· Black pen.

Notes:

· Arrive before 5AM. They will start getting in line at 3AM.

· Cell phone can be brought in, but must be turned off and checked inside.

· Passport will be taken at St. Luke's during the medical exam, and St. Luke's will send it to the Embassy.

· The pre-interviewer may only ask for the Birth Certificate, NBI Clearance, affidavit of support folder and the evidence of meeting with the petitioner.

· At the end of the interview ask the interviewer if you are approved. If they will not tell you then look to see if they place a green and white "VISA APPROVED" sticker on your brown folder.
