A fiancé(e) is considered an intending immigrant and therefore must present documents similar to those required for an immigrant visa applicant. These include:

• a valid Philippine passport;
• a copy of the applicant’s birth certificate issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) and printed on NSO security paper;
• legal documents proving the termination of a previous marriage;
• NBI clearance;
• Police certificates from all foreign countries where the applicant lived for at least six months starting at the age of 16;
• Evidence of the relationship with the petitioner;
• Evidence of financial support; 
• A medical examination completed by St. Luke’s Medical Center Extension Clinic;
• Visa photographs;
• Evidence must be presented that the couple met in person within the past two years before the petition was filed.
