What was your mom trying to come to the US for/ Without that information all this feedback is moot.

If the was on a tourist visa I do not believe she needs to attend. If she's coming on an immigrant visa then yes she has to attend.

Unless it changed in the last 2 years, you need to attend the CFO seminar even for a tourist visa. My best friends wife came to visit the states and she had to attend.

Immigration didnt let my mom board in the plane because she didnt have seminar stamp? I thought u only go for seminar if you you are fiance or wife/ husband.. Please help

Finacee, wife/husband, "other partners of foreign nationals" which is intended to mean, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends or with any foreigner, or claiming intent to travel to meet a foreigner in any other country, including the no-visa ASEAN countries, Should plan to be offloaded at Clark and probably NAIA.

April 2013. CRK-BKK on 5J. Plane was 1/2 empty despite being sold out. Many westen guys with empty seats next to them. Their companions were denied at Immigration while exiting due to their girls not posessing the CFO documents. Some of these ex-pats have lived with their girlfriends in the Pinas for years, have children with them, and support their families.

Honey-ko took her CFO at Prism 2 years ago when the news of this "practice" started circulating.

An example on how over zealous these guys are:

A retired Fil-Am couple who we planned to travel with, both well to do US citizens with valid US passports were denied also. She answered the officer back in Tagalog and the Immigration officer immediately demanded from her a Philippines passport, which she let expire 15 years ago as she became a US citizen. He then asked for her completion of councelling documents from the CFO, then denied her boarding and confiscated her US Passport saying it was a fake. Then he threatened the American husband with jail when he showed their flight schedule from LAX and their flight back to the states 2 months later.

I oveheard the oifcer tell the US husband, and everyone in ear-shot, that "every Filipino needs to attend CFO seminar in Manila before leaving the country."

This is what to have to learn to expect.
