You said you need two proof of visa payments: I know one you get from BPI, where is the other one?

then you said both of your passports: Do you mean the original Passport of the Filipina and a photo copy of the petitioner's passport?

Just make a photo copy of the BPI receipt so you have two copies.

Does this go the same with the passports?

I sent her copies of my passport and also she has her own passport with two copies, will that be sufficient.

Did you provide another original copy of I-134 for her daughter?

Copies of her passport are good to have, and extras for sure. Don't recall the K-1 visa process requiring a copy of USC passport.

Here is a link to the embassy requirements. http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/19452/public/Revised%20K1%20Instruction%20Packet%20_3__rtf2_003.pdf

Now the bunch at the CFO seminar can ask for some crazy stuff though...

Congratulations.>>> Can you please explain "Both passports" Wouldnt a Filipina only have one passport to show or do you mean copies of fiancee/petitioners passport too? Thank you for the information. I will have my fiancee read this as it will help her when we get to that point. When your number comes up again you will go to a window: NBI clearance, B-certificate, CENOMAR, and I-134 affidavit of support, two proof of visa payment, and both your passports
