1    Does she need a copy of the original I 129F (she does have a copy btw) which included an original copy of my birth certificate, divorce records, passport pic and stamps, letter of intent etc.
2    Affidavit of Support? I read some embassies don’t need this it’s really to have available after entry, married and filing for green card. Otherwise I have to pull bank statements, employment verification and prior year tax return as part of the AOS which is fine by me.
3    On going relationship proof since filing I 129F-(a few simple mundane chat logs, photos, entry stamps of me going to her and her coming to me, hotel reservations, flight itinerary)
4    Pay either online or at the embassy for the embassy fee, not sure which one is best

I also read there is no packet 4 any longer it was just a letter mailed for the interview date and now they just email or text the date. I also read the only thing actually mailed is the passport with K1 Visa and entry documents to had over to officer at the POE airport.

I’m guessing one of us (still unsure which one of us) will get packet 3 which is an email or text with specific embassy instructions.

My fiancé has more to do obviously; DS 160, criminal records, birth certificate, multiple passport photos, current passport, I pay then she does her medical

1) no she doesn't need one, but always good to have copies to review what was said in the i-129f

 

2) have a i-134 ready, just because some don't ask....doesn't mean it wont be required in bolivia

 

3) your good on this

 

4) the embassy has a bank usually that accepts the payment....look it up in embassy website. different rules for different embassy

 

beneficiary is usually the one getting the info on what needs to be done next

 

medical is also paid in local currency in at the medical center where they send her. 

 

hope this helps
