Hi everyone

My name is Kirk and my fiancé is Jane, she is from the Philippines and we met in December, well way before that but just chatted as friends and started a relationship in December. I went to meet her in February for 3 weeks fell in love and decided to get married. I have downloaded all the forms I need and will start to fill them out shortly. Jane has got her ID's...Birth Certificate, Baptismal, SSS and also has her NBI report (police background check).

I have 2 questions.....1) are the Id's Jane has now sufficient???

2.) Does she need to get her passport before I petition????

Thank You:)

1) the instructions to the I-129F would indicate what is needed...

2) passport needed before interview....

hI,

Dont forget Cemar, she will submit all these forms on her interview day... and passport on her medical check up. Good Luck.

She don't need SSS

Go to Philippine Section and it will tell you all you need to know

Document Verification is no longer part of the list

Read about CFO as well, it will be the last step before she can leave PI.

It's part of the PI Govt. and nothing to do with US Embassy.

First, where do you intend to get married? Because if you want to get married in the Philippines, the requirements are different. But if you intend to get married in the US, you should apply for I-129F otherwise known as Petition for Alien Fiance. Read the complete instruction. You can find it on the internet. As far as I know, the I-129F requires that you have meet in person 2 years before the application but there are certain cases that allow it. The instruction for I-129F has everything you need to know..

Yeah, i see that actually. But he seems lost (which made me lost, too). It seems like they are completing the requirements for the interview while he did not even file the petition yet. It made me think that maybe they are preparing for a marriage in the Philippines. For his question #2, I'll answer that Jane doesn't need the passport, YET. But she'll need if she already have the schedule for the interview.

Thanks everyone

Yes I am confused with all this..lol....we are getting married here in the US. I will be sending the I-129F next week. As far as getting her passport, wouldnt it be good that she goes and gets it now??? Or would it better to wait and get it when she gets notification of her interview, or does it matter?

I have filled out the I-129F, but I need to read more on this site to make sure Im doing everything correctly, then I will send the paperwork in. Sorry if I sound confused, but being a perfectionist, Im afraid Im gonna miss something and screw this all up.

OK.....off to read some more. Thanks again everyone

The passport is not necessary YET but she can start completing the requirements now while you are also filing the I-129.. The passport and other documents will be required for the interview which will be in a about 4-6 months after you applied the I-129F. the complete list and instruction will be found on this site.. --> http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfk1en.pdf

My passport was 2 years valid when I arrived in US. It didn't cause any problem.
