I would get copies of your high school and college transcripts. Get any dentist work done in Philippines before entering USA, You will easily pay 10 to 20 tmes more in USA for dental work.

I would get a few extra copies of your birth certificates.

Yes...get your dental work done in 'pinas..you'll be glad you did...!

There's no need to bring a bunch of birth certificates. My wife brought only one and she still has it. If your birth certificate is needed for anything here in the U.S., they make a copy of it and return the original to you.

On the other hand, you're going to need more passport photos as you work your way through the rest of your visa journey.

Edit: For any professional job, your employer will want sealed transcripts from your college.
