First...great site. I have stumbled across it trying to get a feel for the process. Thanks to all who contribute.

Second....My fiancee received the packet from the embassy (Bogota, Colombia). I'm not sure of what constitutes packet 3 or 4, so I apologize if my terminology is wrong. This package contained the DS-2100, the DS-230, DS-156K, I-134, and various intruction pages.

I have a couple of questions, mainly because I think I have seen or read conflicting things.

1) It seems to indicate that she should not return anything to the embassy until she has collected all documents requested; however, it seems to say also to immediately send these documents via fax (2100 & 230). What is the proper procedure? She has all document but the I-134 data and she needs the photos.

2) The I-134 was included in her packet because I did not send it with my original petition. I have my letter from my employer, pay stubs, bank statements, and tax return info. However, she needs originals, per the letter. Do I need to print/sign the I-134 and mail it to her, or is there a way to get her the necessary info?

She has already gathered nearly all documents, as we started gathering everything for the initial submission.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, and I apologize if this is posted elsewhere and I missed it.

1. She has received Packet 3, the Information Packet. The DS-2001 form is an interview readiness form. They want her to collect the docs (which you have largely done) and then sign the document saying she is ready for her interview. But, they would like her to do that as soon as possible because they will not schedule an interview for her until she returns the DS-2001 along with DS-230 Part I. She should only be returning the DS-2001 and the DS-230 at this stage. Many embassies will allow the forms to be faxed or mailed.

2. The I-134 form is for you to fill out. You can download the latest version. You need to fill out the I-134, sign it, attach all required supporting documentation according to the instructions in Packet 3 and mail it to her. She will need to bring it with her to the interview.

On the same topic, I sent the I-134 in with my initial I-129f packet. I had the letter from my employer and the income tax statement (I don't need the bank statements because my income is well over what they require.).

Will I have to re-do the I-134 for the interview which won't be for at least a few months?

Thanks much!! I gathered the bank statements/tax returns because it is SOP for my industry, so it's engrained in my head to do so. But my salary via the employment letter/pay stubs is 75% greater than required, so I should be fine.

It varies by embassy/consulate. Some will accept I-134 and supporting documentation dated within a year but I recommend that you check the embassy website where you will have the interview. At a minimum, you will need tax transcripts for tax year 2008.
