I  have seen that electronic copies have been accepted. Also  would try to have an employment letter that’s no older then 60days if you can help it.  Additionally you can also send your fiancé some electronic copies of your more current paystub‘s that she way she has the most recent pay dates that will substantiate your employment letter claim if you can’t get an updated letter. I would do a search for that I -134 form here as  it seems that it’s country specific on what they will and will not accept for signatures on the I134 form and some have said that they required bank statements others have said that they did not so I would just use the caution of better to have it and not need it then rather need it and not have it mentality. I sent a three day delivery packet via usps packet from Boston to Manila and it cost me $63 with about six pages of documents inside so for me that was money well spent on making sure that they had wet signatures updated intend to marry letter and original copies of my W-2s as well as the original wet signature of the financial form. you can also email the embassy and ask or read that particular embassy reviews to get actual real experience reports.  in Manila it seems majority times they don’t even ask for the financial forms but I’ve read review or two that actually mentioned that they did ask for so again it’s really subjective and the role of them better to have it and be prepared as my advice good luck and I hope you find your answers. 

Ahhh nice!!!!! Thanks Mark_712 for all this helpful info.

Electronic version is OK. Just as long as it is on company letterhead and signed and dated. No older than 60 days.

That’s awesome just in time to avoid Holy Week closure 👍🏻 Hppy to hear that and I will have let my fiancé know she will get a kick out of that. She is a bit nervous for the interview but we have been role playing to ensure her confidence

HELP - So Fiance submitter her DS160 Application today with DOS electronically. When I check it using the number it says "no status" I would assume the Consulate will receive the other paperwork? I would like to get a head start on as much as we can but am not certain if this is the tracking of the application etc? Should the embassy already have the other paperwork and we could call them? Does anyone know the path of paperwork here? Would rather not waste three weeks waiting for them to mail us instructions. Please Advise!

Check the CEAC site at: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==

 

As a K1, when checking your case online at CEAC you have to select "immigrant visa" as it is treated like as such even though it is a "non-immigrant visa". Don't ask why, as no one has been able to articulate why!

 

Here is additional information that will answer your other questions.

There is a wealth of information out there for you to read where it will answer and help you along the way.

2. Google

3. VJ country subforum

4. Search VJ members who recently got approved and contact them for help. I am sure they will help in anyway they can as they know how daunting this visa process is.

 

READ all post in this thread as many give an answer to someone else who asked the same question you have or you can visit the "generic" link to see how it affects you.

 

Good luck.

In CEAC

When I use non immigrant I get “no status” when I use immigrant it says invalid case number.

 

Any Ideas?

TY!

Like I said K-1 is treated as an immigrant till your visa is issued then it changes to non-immigrant. You maybe a little early. Try again tomorrow. Verify your entries to be sure they are correct.

TY! This makes sense to me now! It changes once it’s issued!

For sure she will do great. Consuls are just trying to see if the relationship is genuine. Just be honest and you'll be fine. Just had my Interview last Thursday together with my kids and it went well. The consul that interviewed us is so friendly. And now we are just waiting for our Visa. 😊
