Our Visa is on its way, so the long and tortuous path through US Immigration approval of a Fiance Visa is finally almost at its end.

The other day I found out about a procedure Maria needs to do called the Exit Seminar through CFO, and it scared the heck out of me; since, no instructions anywhere in the whole ordeal we have been through mentioned it. We found out by accident, so now we will get that done too.

This of course raises the question of what else does she need to do that we have never been told about. I saw mention in my hours of research to find out about CFO, that there is a form she will need to complete called the I 94; however, this seems to be done when she arrives in the airport in the US with US Customs and Border Patrol. My memory in all this reading the other day speaks of some Philippine Emigration Form that will be needed too, but now I can't find reference to it anywhere. Maybe that is just a bad dream.

Aside from the Visa which is soon to arrive from the Embassy with Air 21, and the CFO Exit Seminar she must attent and pay for, are there any other procedures or forms she needs to do before they will let her get on an airplane with me. Is there a Philippine Emigration Form we need to complete and get notarized etc?

Thanks once again for any advice given. VJ has been a god send for me, and I've been going on daily now answering questions for others.

Just tell her to attend the seminar and have her passport stamped at CFO and tell her NOT to forget the visa packet (yellow/brown envelope) that will be sent to her by Air21 with her visa and then she is good to go :thumbs: (of course don't forget her airline tickets/e-ticket :P ). She also needs to pay terminal fee (Php750) and travel fee (Php1620) at the airport (unless you already paid the travel fee when you purchased the airline tix).

The form I-94 that she needs to fill out will be given to her on the plane by the flight attendant before she arrives at her POE and that is also the last immigration form that she needs to fill out before she arrives in the US :)

Happy trip! :star:
