hello everyone!

we are now holding our K1 visa and k2 visa for my son, We are now preparing for my k1 seminar at CFO and for registration for my son at the same time.

I doubt if the CFO officers will required for me to bring my son Birth certificate and his baptismal? my son doesn't have baptismal. But he have his authenticated BIRTH CERTIFICATE from NSO . Please advice! thanks a lot and GODBLESS EVERYONE!!!

I know that baptismal certificates are only required if the birth certificate was registered late. My birth certificate was registered late so I bring my baptismal certificate all the time. (It was required from me when I had a tourist visa interview done last year.)

I'm not sure about the CFO requiring it but maybe other members can help you out.

my advice would be, bring your son's NSO Birth certificate, photocopy of his passport's bio page and the visa.. the passport too..

Exemptions from PDOS and Peer Counseling Seminar

For children 12 years old and below are exempted from attending the PDOS. They must, however, be registered, even if by proxy.

CFO:

ALL exiting required to attend (exceptions are listed). There have been changes regarding CFO so for sure read through their website.

Update: Please check the schedule of the counseling session before proceeding to CFO because it is country-specific and the slots are limited only to 15 per session (two sessions per day) for Manila and 12 per session (only one session a day) for Cebu. It is on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: originals & copies of; CENOMAR (CEMAR and marriage certificate if married), certified birth certificate. Passport and copies of bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together.

From USC (copies of) - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common requests. The "other documents" clause can be ANYTHING with those nit-wits at CFO.

Information Needed on the Form:

- Basic Information about you, the fiance(e)/spouse (Name, Address, Birthday, etc.; Your Birthplace is important too, specify which city/town/area/province)

- Basic Information about your petitioner (Sometimes you are going to be asked for the Birth Certificate copy)

- FULL MAIDEN NAME of fiance(e)/spouse's MOTHER

- Contact person in the Philippines, specifically immediate family as in Father, Mother, Siblings.

- Landline Number of Petitioner. (I know, I know, most of you guys don't use landlines now. That's what was running through my mind too.) If no landline is available, Landline of Petitioner's Nearest Relative or Petitioner's Neighbor.

- Petitioner's Educational Attainment, Degree/Course, Occupation

- Information on Petitioner's Divorce/Annulment/Death of previous wife or husband. You must have a copy of the Divorce Decree/Death Certificate.

- ZIPCODES. Both the petitioner and the beneficiary. Never forget to write those down.

When my stepdaughter had her CFO, she did not require her baptismal certificate. Her birth certificate was also registered late (more than 1 year late).
