CFO Requirements

[PaulJoyceXOXOXO 0]

I'm an American and my fiancee is a Filipina. She has her K1 visa in hand and will now go for the CFO seminar. My question is, does she need PDOS and the Peer Counseling or just Peer Counseling. We're on the CFO website trying to make an online reservation for her seminar date and it says "if petitioned by spouse/partner that is a foreign national or a former Filipino, you do not need to fill-up this form and attend the PDOS. Instead you will have to attend the Guidance and Counseling Program....". Is this right? We don't need the PDOS, just the counseling?

ok thanks you. So that's all she needs is PRISM seminar? If so, I will fly her to Manila next week and buy her plane ticket for the USA for a couple of days after that. So we're set??? hehehehe

What is a PDOS? My wife, K1, only did the seminar. Don't know what a PDOS is or Peer to Peer? What web site are you trying to book an appointment? We had to make many phone calls - no web site bookings. The seminar is walk in. But, make sure you have the required documents. There is a small fee. After the seminar she needs to go to the CFO office for the offical stamp/certifcate.

Good luck.

When my Flor attneded the Seminar, they required that she have proof of my singleness. Just depends on the officer there. Flor used a copy of my recent tax return, and they gave her the certificate.

I am here now on Taft Ave. We are at the address of PRISM, but the sign says PDOS. I think they are the same. She has been sending me messages of Chikka, so it does not seem very strict. Anyway, I hope this is the right place. Our tickets leave tomorrow morning!

St. Marys is better to go, and you don't need an appt.

You don't need an appointment for PRISM either.
