  1. Hi Benef.  Yes, ours was on a Wednesday as well.  Not sure why google shows they are closed on Wednesday other than the main windows were closed (looked like where they maybe process documents and stuff, about 20 windows).  So it may just be open for interviews but they can't put open because it's really not fully open so people don't go there expecting to have documents and stuff processed?

     

    Good luck with it!  They have metal detector there and worse than airport so would not recommend bringing too much.  If you have kids and stuff be ready, as we had a carseat and baby had to come out and carseat went through conveyor and i had to hold our baby out as i went through the metal detector so be prepared for that.  Jewelry, watch, everything off.  Shoes too if I remember right.

     

    Wasn't too bad, just about 10-15 min of them asking to verify the information we submitted and provide a few documents to prove relationship and that was basically it.  Good luck!

  2. Hey John.

     

    I see you have stuff about the Philippines (below).  Are those two classes offered in CFO or are they all separate things required?  I knew about the CFO class.

    Thanks,

    John

     

    PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

     

    PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

    It is required to have the visa in their passport for PDOS and Peer Counseling.

     

    GCP (Guidance and Counseling Program) is for K-1 Fiancee and IR/CR-1 spouse ONLY.   These are the only ones that can attend the seminar without their visa.

      You only need the GCP if you are the beneficiary.  In my case there are two teenagers who have to take the peer counseling after they receive their visas.

       

      All you need is the GCP and you do not need to have your visa to do it.

       

      The CFO class for fiance(e)s is called GCP.

      Ok.  Thank you!

       

      The process is taking so long!  Want to make another trip just so we can do the CFO class and save time on final trip.  Is it pretty open/easy to get an appointment or are they pretty full and have to plan in advance (was originally going to schedule between medical and consulate interview.

       

      Thanks,

      John
