Greetings!

Please help VJers...

My visa has been approved at the US Embassy in Singapore last October as I have been working there.

I left Singapore in November and went back to the Philippines. From here I go to LA..

Do i need to attend the CFO seminar? there were no instructions from the US embassy in Singapore that I should do so..

Please help..

Many thanks in advance..

If you are a Filipino citizen with a Philippine passport, then yes, you have to. Since you'll be coming from here, it will be checked before your departure.
