Looks good.

You have multiple copies of DS forms as required.

Hank, yes I did see that on the embassy instructional letter. However, just for clarity, I noticed they only stated a need for two copies of the DS-156 and DS-157, and one for the others. Is that correct? Or do they need two of all of them? Edited July 14, 2013 by Leon & Mylen

[Hank_ 9,173]

Only need what is listed in the embassy instructions letter, follow that and you are good.

Everything can be scanned copies, EXCEPT for the I-134 which has to be an original with petitioner's signature.

[Robb&Ann 101]

usem only needs the photocopies of itr and w2.. i-134 should have original signature.

When you submit the I-129F, there was proof of Evidence of a Genuine Relationship.

I assume that Manila will have that proof? So for the interview the Evidence of a Genuine Engagement is the evidence such as communications, travel to Philippines, photos...from the time after submitting the I-129F?

Thanks!

[Hank_ 9,173]

For the I-129F you only need proof of meeting in person within the past 2 years, all the evidence of an ongoing relationship is needed later for the embassy during the visa interview.

Many like to frontload their I-129f with such proof, as to give a good impression with the embassy CO before they interview you, which can make a difference. However it isn't required until the actual interview. And yes, the evidence should be dated up until fairly close to the time of the interview.
