My fiancee just had her interview today at the U.S. Embassy Manila and thank goodness we got approved! :) but one more thing, she was talking to someone while waiting at the embassy and advised her to take a CFO seminar when she recieves her passport and visa. Does she really need to take that before she leaves the Philippines on a K1 visa?

Fiancees of US citizens have to attend a guidance counseling session and obtain the CFO sticker. No need for PDOS; that is a requirement for permanent residents/immigrants.

Better if she can get it processed through SMEF-COW or PRISM; they're not as stiff as the peeps down at CFO.

SMEF-COW would be the best; they have an office in Katipunan, and a CFO satellite office behind their building (they are in the same compound). She can attend the counseling and get the CFO sticker there.

Here's the link for the fees and requirements: http://www.smef-cow-phil.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=68

Thank You All!
