yo do not need to bring you child to the CFO Seminar. you will just need to register your son with CFO. that would be done when you have the visas.

A 2 year old kid? No, i believe you can't bring kids to the seminar because the talk is purely for adults. (Pretty benign if you ask me)

Are you in the Philippines? Try looking up their website, they have pretty good info there. Also, call them if you get confused. Also, bring all sorts of info on your partner or ask him na. Like his high school, his parents name, where he was born, etc.

No, but the child must be registered.

For children 12 years old and below are exempted from attending the PDOS. They must, however, be registered, even if by proxy. The following additional documents are required if the proxy is not the legal/natural/adoptive parent of the registrant.

  1. Original and photocopy of one(1) of valid identification card with photograph of the proxy
  2. Special Power of Attorney authenticated by Diplomatic Post if parent/s/ or guardian/s are based overseas; or a duly notarized authorization letter executed by parent/s or guardian/s while in the Philippines.
  3. Other documents that may be required by the registration officers.

seriously?I would still need my parents to attend the seminar with me?do they really require that?Is one parent alone okay?either my mom or dad as they are both busy ...hmmm.

You either need them to attend or have Municipal form 7 . One or the other not both. Please remember this is a CFO requirement, and has nothing to do with USEM.

No you do not need to bring one of your parents with you to CFO, you should be fine to bring a copy of their postal ID or such, something with a picture.

** From the Family Code of the Philippines: it's 21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent. (Some are posted on VJ that they were not asked for this, yet others have been asked, so be prepared) Bring the ID of the parents, plus copies, postal ID should be adequate.

You don't need to bring your parents. Just bring the advice forn notarized. My wife was 18 and had her concent form. Her mother went with to the CFO for support and they wouldn't allow her in. Sat outside for 4 hours. She had memorized everything and had copies of everything. What they got her on was they wanted a name and phone number of a friend in her province. She didn't bring her phone because thought it was the same like at tge embassy. Also, she disn't have my home telephone number of a landline where we would be living in the U.S.. So she had to make another trip and supply both numbers. We don't have a landline so told her to give my cell number..

Their game is to find something you don't have and think its great if you have to make another trip. Also, i was pleasured with questions, from

my now wife, about Swingers and if I knew any in the U.S... Because they told a girl going to a European country that it is full of Swingers and she needs to be very careful. What a joke!!!
