    1) IMO you are good to go with what you have done... 2) & 3) only list assets that you are willing to provide evidence for... I only included my income because it was easy to verify with paystubs and tax transcripts and my income is above the threshold... if you list your house, for example, you would have to provide a professional appraisal, etc.

    This is not from experience because I am still waiting for NOA2, but from what I have read lately on the chat groups is that your case must be "ready", then you have to make payment for the visa, and once that clears you can schedule biometrics and the embassy interview.

    Right now the 129 approval time is running 6-8 months if you file today. Overall timeframe is about 12 months. If you are a DIY filer this youtube channel is the best out there and the price is right LOL https://www.youtube.com/@SurajandYasmin

    Where on the I-129F does it ask for this information? If it doesn't ask for it you don't need to list it. However, when you complete the DS-160 that is when your question will be relevant.

    1. put "N/A" here, do this for all fields in the entire application that don't apply to your situation, they are picky about leaving fields blank. For part II #18 "occupation" you could put "full time college student" here 2. I checked box 5d, same situation as you this was my first I-129F 3. In her country do they use roman alphabet like we do in the US? If yes then you put "N/A" for all these fields. For example, my fiance is Filipino, in the Philippines names are spelled using the roman alphabet. But say your fiance is Chinese, then you complete this part using the Chinese alphabet! Great DIY video for completing the I-129F, highly recommended:

    If you are using MS Edge there is a bug on that form and it won't show what you need.... just print it out, use some white out, then write the correct number using black ink. Glad you got it to work, I'm too cheap to buy the version of adobe needed to make the form work Lol

    It's a sad situation but the kid met natural selection... either a case of very poor judgement or arrogance for an Afam to marry a Pinay Muslim and live openly as a married couple in Northern Mindanao. I'm sure the local clerics didn't take too kindly to the situation.

    Here is an update... my fiance has a friend who lives in Shenzhen, and we sent her an apostilled SPA to represent her to the local authorities and request a PCC. The authorities denied the request (she never met the residency requirements) but issued a written refusal... this is gold! Best outcome outside of getting the PCC, this way we have evidence we tried to obtain the PCC, but it is unobtainable to her. We can now assemble alternate evidence instead of the PCC. Very optimistic now for the eventual USEM interview.

    If you are an Afam (US male) you get the royal treatment wherever you are in the Phils (so long as you are behaving yourself LOL). When I visited last summer, some of the kids from my fiance's friends wanted me to place the back of my hand on their forehead as they knelt before me... that was a strange experience, but I was told it was an honor and I was giving them a blessing.

    My Pinay just sent a document from Surallah (South Mindanao) to Manila, shipped Saturday (10/19) arriving Tuesday. Did you get a tracking number?

    We are not that far yet, currently waiting for NOA2. On track to potential visa interview at USEM in March, I will update the thread with the outcome.

    I thought about using them for a "consultation"... I have a unique problem with obtaining a PCC and I wanted to know how to approach this topic when asked during the interview... I think if you have some unique circumstance and you are not sure how to resolve the issue then I can see how a consultancy like this would be useful... they wanted $479 for a 30' zoom call so I passed on it, I was able to find answers to my questions with more research but it was a viable option I considered

    curious as well, they have good yt vids

    they buy low and sell high, they exchange in so much volume that they only need to skim a little to make money

    Once your visa is approved, I believe your fiance has 6 months to leave for the US. So if its probably 2-3 months for NOA2 puts you at November, then if you delay some on SLEC and the USEM interview to January or February? That might work
