CFO Seminar in Manila (May 30, 2013)

[MJandJON 1]

Honestly, I don't think they have a way of checking if it's a landline number or not. It could be anybody's number! JUST KIDDING. It still is for your own good AND safety that they ask you these numbers. They would want to know where to contact you or get in touch with you when sh*t hits the fan.

In my case, I used his grandmother's landline in NC. And we're in ND. That's a long way from here.

The important thing here is, don't appear to look 'rattled' or intimidated. Be confident and you'd be fine!

Hi erika. Just want to ask, i had my interview last friday and we were put in AP so i know it will take time. Im wondering if while waiting i cant take the seminar, since there is a lot of idle time while waiting for my visa. Do you think they will allow me? I had phil health id and nbi to present as my id. You think thats fine?

I have no idea sis. Since you don't have your passport with you. Try to call them and ask. I also thought of doing that but I don't know why I never tried calling them =). Oh I have an email address of the Guidance counselor, I will ask him too ok? I will keep you posted.

If you read the requirements on the CFO website it lists bringing your passport along with 2 copies of the BIO page to do the seminar. Being the passport is at the embassy...

[Mrs.Presson 16]

Sure thanks!!

You need your passport for the cfo seminar. No choice but to wait for your passport with visa on it. good luck!

To who have an approved i-129F petition on the way to NVC, you have to visit this web site.

http://philippinefiancevisa.weebly.com/index.html

If you want the post approval process cleared up on a single location, this woman Ann is nothing short of amazing.

To Ann, when you arrive to the U.S., might I suggest a career in technical writing. Your web site is clear, concise, and on the mark.

I have spent all day today trying to time line this process and then I found your site. All my notes went into the trash.

When you finally arrive in the Pheonix, AZ area, I would love to buy you and your soon to be husband dinner. I am not from there (I'm in Houston, TX), but I can always pay for your dinner at a fine restruant of your choice. The time you have save me is more than worth a nice dinner for the two of you.

Ann, I had no idea the pressure you women went through getting all this accomplished. All this time, I thought I was doing the hard parting making entry on the i-129F. I now see the part I did was the easy part. What you said about the medical examination and the full body inspection really shocked me. I had no ideal.

Note to everyone: Joan and I do not have our VISA's issued yet. Our Interviews are just coming up in June.

Basically, what we did is just the Guidance and Counseling Session, we are not technically "registered" yet. At least that's what I understand from the CFO Website Workflow and FAQ's. We only did Step 1. After visa issuance, we will have to go there to continue to STEP 3.

According to the FAQ's on the CFO Website these will be the requirements for STEP 3:

Filipino emigrants are required to present the following documents for registration:

* Original valid passport

* Original and photocopy of visa

* One (1) 2x2 or passport-size photograph

* One (1) valid identification card with photograph*

* Original and photocopy of Immigrant Data Summary (for USA-bound emigrant)*

* Original and photocopy of Confirmation of Permanent Residence (for Canada-bound emigrant)*

* Photocopy of Certificate of Eligibility (for Japan-bound emigrant)*

* Original and photocopy of letter of approval for Work to Residence visa (for New Zealand-bound emigrants)*

* Photocopy of employment contract (for immigrant workers)

* Duly completed registration form

* Payment of P400.00 registration fee

* Attendance in the PDOS, guidance counseling or peer counseling session

For youth emigrants aged 13 to 17, the following additional documents are also required:

* Photocopy of parent's passport or valid identification card, if accompanied by parent/s during registration

* Letter of authorization from parent/s authorizing the guardian to register the child on their behalf (if accompanied by guardian during registration)

* Original and photocopy of DSWD travel clearance

For children 12 years old and below, the following additional documents are required if the proxy is not the legal/natural/adoptive parent of the registrant.

* One(1) valid identification card with photograph of the proxy

* Special Power of Attorney or notarized authorization letter from the parent/s/ or guardian/s authorizing the proxy to register the minor children.

Tanong ko lang po kung ano un Immigrant Data Summary?

[Hank_ 9,173]

Tanong ko lang po kung ano un Immigrant Data Summary?

K-1 is a non-immigrant visa, so there is not an Immigrant Data Summary.

[Mrs.Presson 16]

Tanong ko lang po kung ano un Immigrant Data Summary?

Yup, what Hank said. Missy Crissy, No need to worry about the Immigrant Data Summary because you're under the K1 category.

Just so you know what it is, when immigrant visa packets (those under other family-based categories like spouses, employment categories, etc.) are issued, there's a white paper attached to their yellow packets that contain necessary information about the immigrant and must not be detached from the packet. This is for CBP's use when they get to their POE.

I'll be doing CFO soon and when I checked their website they require 2 valid IDs... So I guess they mean government issued identifications... All I have is my passport and NBI clearance.. Would that be OK? or I need another one? Thanx...
