How long does it take & does Manila ask for I-134?

[JimRaynor 3]

Hello, just have a couple questions.

 

1) How long does the K1 process generally take these days, from start to finish?

2) Does Manila, Philippines request for the I-134 (evidence of support)? I've heard they are no longer asking for it during the interview stage.

No one will tell you exactly. 

 

It can vary from anywhere from 6 to 12 months.

This day in age the average time frame is as short of 9 months and as long as a 12 months. If you have any Philippine specific questions please feel free to head over to the Philippines subforum.

Always go into the interview process fully prepared with all paperwork. Never take the word of others. I also heard they were going to start being stricter on the I-134 and all starting this year so, again, always go in prepared.

Remember there is a difference between what is required and what they request to see.  The I-134 is required to be completed and be available during the interview.  However, the Embassy may not ask to see and examine.  They have not requested and looked at it very much in the past, but the for future who knows.  Just know it is a requirement whether they blow it off or not, and it is better to be safe than sorry.

Our interview was April 19, 2018....

• They did not ask for I-134
• Only documents requested was our picture

I am sure it varies though...
