This is where it gets "interesting"   Everyone has pretty much the same I-129f process, but the little detail differences between embassies makes my head spin  The craziest thing to me so far is just how fast and simple the interview in Manila is, once you finally get to it.  Everything I read so far indicates it is really rare for them to actually ask for any of the supporting material, but much better to have and not need than the other way round!  

 

My finance and I are preparing for her interview in Manila.  She doesn't have kids though so I'm not too certain on the DS160, but I am pretty sure there needs to be an I-134 for each.  Just in case clarification, you only need to present the single confirmation page hardcopy and not the whole form.

 

My reading of the specific requirement for the Manila embassy for the financial stuff is that it's an either/or.  I.E. latest tax return or pay stubs, but both are not needed. Same with letter from the employer.  I think the letter and pay stubs would be in a case where maybe the petitioner has a new job so and income has changed significantly since last tax filing.  My employment includes free housing which doesn't show as part of my salary so I did get a letter to indicate that extra benefit just inc case.

 

My understanding is also that hard copies are not needed. In fact, the instructions for everything are pretty open about saying you should be submitting copies only and never use originals.  He should be able to scan and upload everything and you can just print off hard copies? (that's what we are doing).  

 

Passport/birth certificate is also an either/or.  I would definitely go with his passport (and it only needs to be the photo and ID page) since it is a standardized federal document.  Birth Certificates can vary from state to state plus theres all that long/short, formal/informal variation. 

 

A couple things that i didn't notice on your list were the NBI clearance and the extra photos for the embassy plus the extra photos for the medical (so. many. photos!).

 

Are you looking to interview right away?  We're being especially optimistic and still hoping I can go pick her up last week of the Month so finger (plus toes, eyes, arms, and legs) crossed  

 

The only question I have is why do you need to complete two copies of the I134 form. My fiance has two dependents (beneficiaries), and I have placed them on the I134 so it doesn't seem necessary to complete an individual I134 for each of them.. Of course I don't know, so I am curious...

My fiance said he needs to make a copy for each which is also confirmed by @snyderjt . He sent me two copies.

Okay, so I have to send three copies of the I134 for each of them. I will make three copies and send them; better safe than sorry.

 

Thanks

Mine are 2 months old. But I’m adding recent pay stubs (scanned and sent to me) just in case. 

 

2 months is not really considered too old in this   

 

Dont forget the tax returns!

 

addition: I don’t know why but our birth certificate is only valid for 3 months(at least the one I got from embassy) so don’t forget to check that!

what?? my birth certificate only valid for three month?? I thought it is permanent.  Is that just your country's case or?

Oh we are from same country with @Yasemin & Rıdvan  that’s why I added.

 

it is not really a birth certificate in our case but it’s vital records so it’s only valid within a period

People saying you need i134 for benecifiaries children is that because you filed petitions for them as well?  My fiancée and I have twins together but they are both US citizens that I already completed CRBAs for and both have their passports and social security cards. I was planning on listing them on the I134 as my dependents as well as under the beneficiary’s children portion.

 

anyone know if that’s correct?

I contacted the embassy in Ecuador about this same issue. I was informed that a single i134 form is sufficient for my fiance and her children.

Justa quick question.On may 8th I got approved and saw my approval on the app.It says " On May8, 2018, we approved your form of I-129F." I just receieved the mail as well.It says Notice Day:05/07/2018. Which one is my NOA2? When I call NVC, what date are they going to ask.I a little confused 

[legatoblue18 38]

At this stage what do we do if my fiancée has moved to a new street address from the one that is on the I129F.  Do we contact the embassy or NVC about it? Or something else?

My pleasure!  We're still waiting for case number too, but I'm feeling hopeful for early next week.  We've got everything else ready and the almost complete DS-160 ready to go

 

Good luck to all of us!

I think that varies alot by country.  My fiance is in the Philippines and vaccines are included in the medical fee there, but the medical exam in Manila is well over $300.  It sucks for those who might already have them since they still have to pay the same fee, but my fiance doesn't have them so she'll just get them there since we have to pay for them either way.

 

The official word on vaccines though is that they are not required for the K1 Visa itself.  They ARE required for the actual Adjustment of Status application, however, so it makes sense to get them anyway.  BUT, you might be able to get them for less money so look around.  It looks like some medical facilities that don't already include the vaccines do that as a scare tactic.  They use fear and uncertainty to upsell vaccines for more than they might normally cost.

A question about police certificates... It looks like they want a translated copy per the Colombian travel.gov visa site. We got his done last September and included in our I-129 F. My question is, since CO police certs are good for a year, can we use the one we got last september or will we need it at AOS stage? is an updated version better to prove he hasn't had any issues as of a date thats closer to the interview? Also, any other countries require translated police certs? And is it just the police cert they want translated at this point (embassy stage) or should it be all documents? 

 

Ok that was more than one question lol.. any help would be appreciated thanks!
