[pinayako20 0]

Hi! I am just wondering if my fiance still needs to attend the CFO seminar if he aready attended this a few years back when he went to Dubai as an OFW. Is the seminar different if he's going here in US on K1 visa?

He has to attend a CFO seminar again, but with a different type of seminar this time.... Counseling for spouses and fiances of USC, and not for Dubai workers.

All Filipino emigrants leaving the country to settle abroad permanently are required by law to register with CFO. No one is exempted from pre-departure registration.

But the following are not required to attend the pre-departure orientation seminar and to be personally present during the registration (they can also be registered by proxy):

* Minors 12 years old and below

* Senior citizens 60 years old and above

* Those with mental illness or psychiatric disability, and incapacitated due to permanent or long-term ailments

The CFO seminar is only required for filipino(a)s immigrating to a foreign country as a fiance'/spouse. The only seminar my gal, also a OFW was required to attend was the PDOS - my gal immigrated to the USA from HK. If your gal/guy has already attended the CFO, s/he should have a stamp in their passport indicating so attendance and is not required to attend again. This is based on my personal education and experience with my gal, also a filipina.

Best of wishes,

Sid
