Sometimes, it depends on how your fiancee will do during the interview. On the day of my interview in Manila Consulate, there were 4 of us waiting for turns, the first two were asked to show a bunch of proof, like receipts of money the US citizens send to them. Although I have with me a few Western Union receipts, they didnt ask for anything, same thing with the other girl.

You did not specifically mention the photos to go with I-129F. They should be Pasport style photos, one of you and one of her now. The USCIS switched to frontal Passport style photos instead of ADIT style photos August 2, 2004.

See link on home page of www.uscis.gov

Yes, I have two one of each for both of us, plus e-mails from the last 6
months and letters... the deal I am wondering is 30 sheeets of 8.50x11
to much for proof of communications?? I have pictures of us together and
her family as well.

Thanks!!!
