3. Identifying Documents: (Petitioner’s birth certificate, Passport style photos of the petitioner and beneficiary)

4. Statements: Intent to marry from both the petitioner and beneficiary, 3 supporting statements from friends and family 

5. Form I-129F

6. Evidence of In-Person Meeting in the Last 2 Years: 8 pictures (2 with other people, 6 selfies), 3 hotel receipts, flight itinerary, esta, i94

7. Evidence of On Going Relationship (3 text conversations, 1 gift receipt,  1 image of a care package, 1 love letter the petitioner sent the beneficiary, 2 personal statements from the couple) 

 

Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!

I think you are missing a couple of things compared to what I filed. Keep in mind I went through an attorney and this is what he requested from me to file. The following is the list he provided. I think this is all I needed for now, a few other things will be needed later before the interview process like a criminal background check, but that can expire so he said to wait on that.

 

1. 2 Identical passport style photos of both parties.

2. Copy of birth certificates of both parties.

3. Copy of the petitioners US passport photo page.

4. Copies of passport stamp pages for all trips to see the beneficiary.

5. Copies of receipts for any money remittances sent to beneficiary.

6. Photo of engagement ring.

7. Copy of receipt for engagement ring.

8. Copy of flight itineraries  for trips to visit beneficiary

9. Copies of boarding passes.

10. Copies of receipts for hotel stays.

11. Color copies of photos of us together  from trips (10 to 15).

12. Latest income tax statements with w2's or 1099's attached, or copy of Tax Transcript from IRS.gov

13. Payment to US Department of Homeland security.

14. Certificate of no marriage from the beneficiaries country (called a Cenomar in the Philippines)

15. Letters of intent to marry from both parties. (attorney wanted the beneficiary's notarized)

16. Copy of beneficiary's passport photo page.

17. I-129F form

Since you mentioned ESTA, I assume the beneficiary will be interviewing in a low visa fraud country.  Please update your VJ profile with the beneficiary's country flag anyway, to make it easier for others to provide country-specific advice.

Not necessary, specially since beneficiary is from a low-fraud country.

You’re missing evidence of petitioner’s US citizenship

Okay thank you! I updated it to Australia. So it sounds like there is too much? Are we missing anything?

Hello! Thanks for the reply. I thought my birth certificate would count. What would I need instead? Am i missing anything else besides that?
