Thanks for the reply.

Per the i-864 Instructions:

Page 4, Section 3

"You intend in good faith to reestablish your domicile in the United States no later than the date of the intending immigrant's admission or adjustment of status."

And Income does not need to be US-Based. We will provide Us Tax Returns (Americans are required to file US taxes regardless of where income is earned), Singaporean Tax Returns and Documents from our employers.

Yes, you can have the visa processed at the consulate in Singapore....

Keep in mind also that the petitioner must have an established US domicile.

Also you will need a financial sponsor whom can meet the guidelines from a US based income source.

(Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum.)

We're planning to send in our i-130 later this year. We are legally residing in Singapore on Employment Pass/Visa.

Will we be granted an option of having the interview in Singapore, or will we have to fly into Philippines, since beneficiary has Filipino Citizenship?

Thanks in advance.

We haven't begun the i-130/immigration process. We're both working in Singapore, and planning to begin the immigration process in the next 12-18 months.

There was one other couple on here in the past year or two who worked in either HK or Singapore and were also doing the visa process. In this case a Filipina, and she traveled out of the Phils without the CFO sticker no issue.

Question. You say the next two year in Singapore, does your husband already have his green card? If yes... then CFO is totally not an issue.

Thanks for the reply. We'll be visiting Philippines several times during our stay in Singapore (2 years)... I'm wondering if it was a fluke that they didn't ask for it, and they'll be asking for it later??

You are currently in Singapore, then heading to the USA from there? Don't need CFO, that is a Philippines government requirement, only need it to exit the Philippines... which wasn't your care at all

It is possible if you return to the Philippines then exit to fly to the USA from there you would be required to have the CFO sticker in your passport, but if you fly to the USA without returning to the Phils... forget about it.

New here. (Hello!)

Reading through the forum today, I've just come across this CFO thing. Is it still required? If not, what's the benefit of doing it?

Does the CFO affect the tax (1620P) paid at the airport on departure?

We are a Filipino Husband, American Wife. We married in Philippines and moved to Singapore. No one mentioned the CFO when we departed for Singapore. (They did request a copy of our marriage certificate and his Singapore dependent pass when he left Cebu.)

Thanks in advance,
