PDOS is a totally different thing from the seminar for fiance's of foreign nationals.. you are under the category of Guidance and Counseling Requirements and Schedules for Filipino Spouses and Other Partners of Foreign Nationals... PDOS are for overseas workers...

hope this helps...

when love is real,

it defies all reasons...

when love is true,

it ignores all pains...

when love is great,

it waits, it persists, and lingers forever...

hi! i just attended the seminar for those petitions by their SA last friday in their branch in katipunan inside the good shepherd convent. i just filled out forms and listened to the counseling and film showing. then paid, got their certificate and my passport was stamped.

you just need 3 photocopies of your passport, the biographical part and 3 too for your visa part.

pdos is being given by the poea for those who are working abroad.

Hi July,

thanks for helping to clear things up for me. Rafi only needs G&C seminar at Prism and then go to CFO office to register and get passport stamp. This is correct? :yes:

thanks,

hi! i just attended the seminar for those petitions by their SA last friday in their branch in katipunan inside the good shepherd convent. i just filled out forms and listened to the counseling and film showing. then paid, got their certificate and my passport was stamped.

you just need 3 photocopies of your passport, the biographical part and 3 too for your visa part.

pdos is being given by the poea for those who are working abroad.

how many weeks, can we get the stamp? can we get right after the seminar?

thanks and God bless us all!
