That's fine.  "To whom it concerns" saves a lot of typing of addresses. :) 

Edited by TBoneTX

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

Where are you reading a second letter of intent is needed for Manila?

The address doesn't make a difference, you'll be fine.

 

Not sure that a second letter of intent to marry is a requirement, but it was highly recommended when we filed. Obviously the first letter will be many months old by the time of the interview, won't hurt your case to send over a new letter with a newer date on it. You have to send other documents anyway (affidavit of support etc) and the letter of intent is just one single paper sheet. Won't be much hassle.

So all i did was updated the date to a more current date for the letter of intent same wording addressed to uscis is this ok? 

Yes, Manila isn't strict on what they ask for, they pretty relaxed in general

 

They haven't asked for I-134 or financial for about 3 years now

Just when you think you have TDS eradicate,  a new case shows up.

I just had my interview last Dec 27 (full details are in my embassy review) and they asked for the I-134 during pre-screening. Pre-screening was at a separate window (separate step from finger printing), they just collect all the required documents- everything from Birth Certificate, police clearance, Cenomar etc. and they kept/filed it all in a folder to be handed internally to the interviewing CO just before the interview. The lady at the Pre-screening window specifically mentioned I-134 as she listed the documents she wanted us to hand over. They also asked for 1 2x2 photo at another window and didn't seem to know that SLEC (medical) had collected the photos that were meant for the embassy and placed them within the Medical Exam brown envelope (the one that said DO NOT OPEN).

First person to say they have been asked for a 1-134 in years on a K1.  Thanks for the update.

Also based on THIS Ph Consulate review, they were also asked for it (Affidavit of Support), their interview (Dec 20) was earlier than mine although their review is posted later. I guess it's the new norm now.

I just asked someone who interviewed the same day as you and they were not asked for any financial support evidence at all
