You will need it after you get your visa. U can't go outside the country without attending the seminar in CFO. But if u want to do it earlier u can do it.

CFO means Commission on Filipino Overseas, it will guide you through the process of migrating to other countries..it includes letting you get inform before your travel and during the departure, the pros and cons settling to a foreign countries and immigration concerns..it is not required for K1 visa but it is required when you leave the country..you can do your CFO seminar before or after your medical or even after the interview..

But i would recommend you do it after your interview when you have your visa so that you dont have to go their twice..

Goodluck to your journey!!!

All Filipinos exiting Philippines with an immigrant visa (including K1s) are required to attend the CFO seminar and have the CFO sticker affixed on their passport. As advised by Bryneff and A&Jlang, you can take it before or after your embassy interview. I would also suggest attending the seminar after you got your visa on hand.

2 offices:

CFO Manila - Requires online appointment

CFO Cebu - First come, first served
