    CENOMAR - Question for Recent K-1 Interviewees

    in Philippines

    Posted

    Not a K1! As long as the BC is NSO and on SECPA it's good indefinitely.

    CENOMARs one year but better to update if close to expiration.

    Some prescreeners ask for it. Some don't. Case by case basis. Older beneficiarys tend to be asked for it more. Ones with children also.

    People claim that USEM does random CENOMAR checks also as there is a LOT of fake ones.

    Bottomline is since it's asked for for K1s. Get one.

    You can order them online! Additional BCs also.

    ITS A REQUIREMENT..so you MUST have a copy of it..

    when I received my Packet 4, a note was attached to the front page, stating that CENOMAR IS A REQUIREMENT.

    I got my CENOMAR online & the date was 3 weeks before my interview date.. better to get NBI & CENOMAR a month before the interview date.

    Same here. :thumbs: I did also get a small note requiring CENOMAR other than the appointment letter, instructions, and forms. I got NBI clearance last week - 3 months before the interview. CENOMAR - a month before the interview - it took 1 week for me before i had it in hand. BIRTH CERTIFICATE - I got 1 copy in March and another 1 in October but there's no difference at all - doesn't matter how long u get it before the interview as long as it's in security paper. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ESPECIALLY TO UR SO.

    is PDOS needed after the Medical (K1) aside from CFO?

    This was what the Orientation Officer, Allan Ducusin told me in an email:

    We wish to inform you that all Filipinos leaving the country as spouses and other partners of foreign nationals are required to register with the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) and attend the Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP).

    Please be informed that the Pre-departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) is required only for family-based, company-sponsored, and independent class emigrants. The GCP, on the other hand, is conducted for Filipino spouses and other partners of foreign nationals and is being administered by our authorized service providers, the St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation – Center for Overseas Workers (SMEF-COW), and the People’s Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization, Inc. (PRISM)

    After your attendance to the Guidance and Counseling Seminar, you will receive a Guidance Counseling Certificate (GCC) from the CFO. Upon receipt of your visa, you also need to register at CFO. One of the registration requirements is her CFO GCC. Registration could be done at CFO Manila, CFO Cebu or CFO NAIA Terminal 1 and 2 on a walk-in, first-come, first-serve basis. There is no need to set an appointment. An emigrant registration sticker will be affixed to her passport after satisfactory completion of the registration requirements.

    TAKE NOTE: PDOS IS DIFFERENT FROM GCP.
