Inventory of what I'm sending fiancee for interview - please check over

[wantmybaby 4]

Having received the MNL # today by email, I'm also almost ready to FedEx a big packet of stuff to the Philippines so that my fiancee can bring these to the interview. Please comment if I am missing anything or did anything wrong.

First, my strategy here is I'm sending one big packet of non-relationship documents first... so, everything except proof of relationship and having met. There's too much to send all at once, and I want to minimize the risk of it all getting lost in the mail on the first try (especially the unrecoverable original ticket stubs, etc). So, this inventory is just for the non-relationship stuff that I'm sending first. Also, I have already sent a copy of most of the I-129F paperwork to her long ago.

What I am doing with each document is:

- Usually sending 2 of everything (either 1 or 2 of them are original if applicable).

- Keeping a 3rd copy here for a backup.

- Everything is also scanned and saved on my HD.

- All the scans are kept in our shared dropbox folder. The idea here is to help deal with any last minute corrections, etc. that may happen as she's traveling, and this is the fastest way to do it.

The List:

I-134: Two originally signed printouts of the I-134, each one stapled together. They are NOT notarized. In section #7, I ONLY list my income, since it is sufficient. I do have other stuff, including house, but I didn't list any of them.

Last 3 year's tax transcripts (up to 2010), "originals". My fiancee will make copies and bring one copy as well as these originals.

1040 PDF printout of tax year 2010. I filed electronically, so this is just a reprint of the PDF. I'm not sure if I should sign it or how.

Last 3 months of bank statements, just the relevant pages. This is to prove I have income direct deposited, not to show assets.

Original/certified copy of my birth certificate, plus one copy.

2 copies of my passport data page.

2 copies, originally signed, for my updated letter of intent.

2 printouts of email from NVCResearch saying the MNL #.

2 copies of NOA1.

2 copies of NOA2.

2 copies of last 3 months of printed out pay stubs (there's no such thing as "original" here).

2 copies of last paystub for year 2010 and 2009, to show more year-end totals.

2 originally signed letters from my bank, stating when opened, balance, and total deposits over last year.

2 copies each of last 4 years W-2 forms (2008-2011).

1 original/certified of divorce certificate, divorce nisi and divorce agreement. Also, one copy of all this.

2 printouts from theworknumber.com for employment verification. Unfortunately, I cannot get a signed letter -- they just won't do it. The printout I got claims it is for "immigration purposes" but I don't really believe them.

How is this?

I would say your on top of it. Don't worry about the PDF of your 1040. If you have the transcripts your fine. My only comment would be that a lot of this stuff can be sent electronically and printed there, saving you a lof of $$$ in Fedex bill.

You got everything what they need, so dont worry, Goodluck!

Awesome. Well, FedEx is a fixed price up to 8 ounces... I'll see how that goes and maybe have her print additional documents from her side if they won't all fit in 8 ounces.

[wantmybaby 4]

Oops... just weighed what I have... 15 ounces. Sigh...
