There is a check list, it's called the Embassy Instructions Letter, it is linked on the USEM website, plus they list everything on the USEM website for the K-1 process. Follow the embassy instructions letter to a "T".... print a copy out, use it as a check list

Here is how we did it...no problems! Note that some of the required DS forms have changed...

(From a previous post)

Hi,

I know that we each have our own way of organizing the materials for the interview and CFO (in the Philippines), but this is how Joan and I organized ours. Hopefully it will make it easy to find the papers when asked for them. There are five 9X12 envelopes with originals and two photocopies of the contents separated by paper clips—easy to hand over each set of documents or photocopies on demand. UPDATE: The two copies were a waste of space and weight! Here is what we have:

Envelope 1 (CFO—Philippine specific)

Registration form—two copies

Copy of my passport (bio page)

Copy of my birth certificate

Collage of photos from my three visits—three copies (3, not photocopied 2 more times)

Notarized Parental Advice

Copy of Joan’s parent’s letter to me accepting my request for her hand in marriage (in Tagalog and translated by Joan into English)

1x1 and 2x2 passport style photos

Joan’s Passport and copies of her bio page

Joan’s Cenomar and copies
