Admins I apologize in advnace if this is posted in the wrong section. My wife just received her Visa today after a 45 day wait after the CEAC site said it was issued. Along with her visa was a letter indicating that she may need to go to a counseling class prior to departing the Philippines. It also contained a yellow envelope that stated "do not open". My question is does she need to attend the seminar? We adjusted my wife's status through the provisional waiver program (I-601a). We have been married for 11 years and have a daughter who is 10. My understanding is that these seminars are to prepare anyone coming to the US for the 1st time. Is it necessary for her to attend? Please forgive me if I left out any pertinent information but any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you

John W.

If she hasn't done it before then she's required to attend. She won't be allowed to board the plane without the CFO sticker on her passport.

Did your daughter chase a visa too? If she did, she needs the CFO sticker as well but if daughter has a US passport then no.

Thank you Apple for the quick reply. Our daughter is a US ciitzen so it would just be for my wife.
