CFO for my 6 year old daughter

[zierra26 0]

My daughter is 6 years old. She is a follow to join. Can you please give me advise about her CFO. I wont be there when she process her papers, only my mom will accompany her. I will only be picking her up once her k2 is issued.

Can I just register her online? Also, I was kinda confused do I still have to get my CFO now that I am here in Canada and will fly straight to US?

Thank you Hank,

Do I also have to register? I was kinda concern because I will be getting my daughter next year in the Philippines. Will they still look for my sticker?

I will go straight to US from Canada and will just get my daughter next year after getting her k2.

I believe once you have your green card they don't look for the CFO sticker in the passport, being you are no longer immigrating.

Thank you Hank. Another question, do you have any idea on how to get power of attorney.

I mean, here in Canada do I have to go to an attorney and make the document and then have it authenticated at the Philippine Consulate here? Or I will just go to Philippine Consulate and tell them I need power of attorney. Sorry for having lots of questions.. I do not have any idea about this and never have done this before and maybe some of the VJers who have the same experience can share and give me advice. Thank you very much..

I have never do this either,I would believe you get the power of attorney drawn up by an lawyer then you take it to the Philippine consulate so that they can "validate it" ... There is probably better information on the DFA website.
