I filed my I130, DCF, it was approved now I have filed my DS260 do I need to send any paper work with my DS260?

Jamesyeck, hope our response isn't too late.  If your DCF is approved, and did your DS260 online , and confirmed it , no need to send any paper work fo r Ds260. If you have made an interview appointment online with consulate, by this time you can do your medical examination and be prepared for the interview and all the supporting paper works like signed Affidavit of support and others. Hope this helps. 

Our Family 

Joshua, a music lover, and Tennessee born guy met Lady Lyn, a Filipina in an online Yahoo Christian Chat while both of them were praising God in a different way.  The latter was bullied by some chatters, and courageous Joshua rescued her like a damsel in distress, that was where a new chapter of life begun with the two of them. Their marriage is blessed in many forms including of rewarding them with a beautiful and joyful baby girl named Abigail Exodus Haltom which named perfectly represents their love and life story as a family.

Will I be allowed to go with my wife to the interview in the US embassy Manila?

Yes.  Its your wife interview but you can help her answer with some of the questions and make it more certain mostly with affidavit of support. Plus if you do DCF, you will also help her to pay the fee at the cashier (2nd floor) while the Filipino consulate ask her few questions. Hope this helps.
