Hello Everyone!

Last February 6, 2013 I attended my Fiance Visa Interview at US Embassy Abu Dhabi and I got the Approval for Fiancee visa :)

I just have a question while waiting for my passport & visa, I am from Manila but currently working here in Dubai. Once I receive my passport & visa I am planning to go directly to the US to be with my Fiance. I know that in Philippines, everyone who has to leave and go to other country such as US has to attend a CFO / Pre-departure orientation Seminar. In my case since I am flying directly to the US from Dubai I want to know if there will be a possibility that I will encounter a problem in future once I go back to Philippines just because I did not attend the CFO Seminar in Manila before flying to the US.

Thanks in advance for those who will take time to give their advice. Have a great day everyone! :)

It's my understanding that once you have a green card, you not have any issue on leaving the RoP, based on your exact transit plans.

You might want to post your topic in the PI forum or ask a mod to move it by clicking the 'report' button under your name.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

Since you are already in Dubai, I don't think you need to attend the CFO/PDOS seminar because you have already done that when you went to Dubai and was already registered. My Niece went directly from Dubai to the US when she married her American BF, she did not came back here and attended the CFO seminar because just like you she was also working in Abu Dhabi. She also got her CR1 visa there. I hope this helps but do check if there are new rules to avoid inconvenience.

I actually came here on visit visa in 2006 so I did not undergo the Pre-departure orientation seminar when I left Manila but I always pay for the OWWA and OEC fee every time I go for vacation in Manila. Did your niece immediately went to US as soon as she got her visa?

I believe she left after 2 weeks, work related reason. Do check with Philippine Consulate there if you can... Have a pleasant trip...
