From the way I understand it, the beneficiary will take it, along with the last two years of the US citizen's tax returns, and additional proof of the relationship.  That's after they get their NBI clearances, health inspection, and paid their fees.  

 

Am I right???

 

Do we need to do anything when the package goes to NVC???

you mean the beneficiary will take the form without filing it to the USCIS? or beneficiary will take an original copy of filed one with approval too? just like how the i-129f goes. Im sorry im so lost about it actually ✌🏻

about the package, you wont do anything coz i think they will run security check on the beneficiary then if it goes fine theyll send it to Bureau of Consular Affairs, then theyll send it to embassy. Embassy will be the one sending mail about instruction for medical and interview

The way I understood it was the petitioner fills it outs and sends it to the beneficiary along with the last 3 years tax returns (if you were working the last 3 years), a letter from their employer stating how long they've been at their job/if it's part time or full time/pay/etc, most recent check stubs, and possibly a letter from the bank showing how much is in their savings and checking (I'm not sure about that one). I've already made copies of my tax returns and gave it to my fiance I'm just waiting on our NO2 to get the other stuff gathered up. The beneficiary takes all of it with them to their interview. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

You're very welcome! Just remember it's better to have to much than not enough so whatever you think may help send it and it has to be a wet signature meaning no copies, original signature.

I think they would go by what's on your tax returns....I know if you don't make enough you could supplement the difference with your savings. I believe for the K1 it would be whatever difference your short by then multiple that by it's either 3 or 5 so say you're just short 3,000 on your tax return but you have plenty of savings you would multiple 3,000 by 5 so you would need $15,000 in your savings to make up for what you're lacking. I could have swore it was only 3 times for a K1 but I could be wrong. Here's another forum that may help you. I hope I've helped a little.

And keep in mind if the petitioner owns a home and they've paid at least example $15,000 into their home and that's what you would need you could use that as an asset.

There's a list in the packet for people to follow. However, I got all three of those. I think you're right on track!

@John & Rose, do you have input on anything that might be needed on the beneficiary's side while they are waiting? I'm not too sure about Philippines requirements and such (if they are different which I think they are).

@ernestadkins, go ahead and try to get the GCP out of the way.  It is required to leave the country.  From there the rest is just like all other countries.  You will need police certificates (NBI for Philippines) and a CENOMAR.  That is just about all you can do while you wait.  Check out this link...

another question ☝🏻😊. Beneficiary will need to bring a copy of everything that the petitioner sent to the USCIS for the interview including the letter of intent to marry. There’s also a cover letter and a statement about my trip there in a formal letter form. Does the copy needs be in the present date. though I know that the letter of intent to marry needs to be updated, but what about the others that has dates on them. Also, should we address everything to the Embassy or just let it addressed still to the USCIS

We were actually thinking we would receive the NOA2 sometime late March to mid April.  We hope you're wrong too, lol.

 

I'm not sure what John & Rose are talking about.  Can you add some clarity for us?

The adjudicators are looking for fraud.  It seems that they are more suspicious of people who put together too much info than those with less.  The people with huge petitions end up looking more "manufactured" than people with less.  Most services agree that 10 to 15 pictures max is about right.  They can always ask for more but when they get so much they sometimes (not always) look much closer as they suspect the relationship is fake.  Nothing to worry about as it is already filed.  There was a Q&A session with a former adjudicator here a few years ago.  It is an interesting read.

So it looks like, reading that, that you'll just need an updated letter.

New letter of intent definitely has to have an updated date but I believe that's the only thing that HAS to have it. Me personally I would just go ahead and update on the dates. Hmmm, I'm not sure about addressing it. You could just do the whole "to whom it may concern" since you're actually mailing it to your fiance and not them directly.
