Hello! Thank you for all your help and we finally got our visas! We are told to attend to a seminar called PDOS or PCS (for us, minor immigrants) before we completely leave the country. Can I ask what are the requirements needed for minor immigrants? We've already registered an appointment online and had the requirements checked but the posts and videos we are seeing from those who have experienced it already was different from what was indicated in the CFO official website (they were all applying under the K1 or Fiancé visa category though). And what should we know before going? Thank you so much!! Your answers will be of great help☺️

Hello Mr. Hank, thank you for this. I have read a lot about the Immigrant Data Summary sheet that is supposedly inside the packet that was delivered together with the visa and passport. But unfortunately, me and my sister don't have it, just some papers with further instructions. Is it okay or do we need to call the Embassy for it? And is it needed for the CFO seminar that we will be attending? Also, if my mom and biological father is already annuled, do we need an affidavit of travel consent from him, notarized? How is it different from DSWD travel clearance? Thank you so much, we are very confused😅

Immigrant visas are switching over to digital data, there will not be a DO NOT OPEN envelope, and there will not be an Immigrant Data Sheet.    CFO is aware, they just need to update their website. 

 

Whether you need something from your father depends on what the annulment states - Does your father have any custodial rights?    Many times the mother is granted full custodial rights, may have to ask your mom to check the annulment documents.

 

If you are traveling without your parent(s) you will need the DSWD travel clearance completed.

Hello Mr. Hank! Do we need a DSWD Travel Clearance if my petitioner is my stepdad ? But my mom is going to pick us up from the Philippines to US. Thanks

DSWD Travel Clearance is not needed if you are traveling with your mother.   Doesn't matter who petitioned you.
