K1 VISA ISSUED IN UAE BUT FLYING FROM PHILIPPINES TO US

[Paul and Francze 0]

I am scheduled for k1 visa interview in Abu Dhabi US Consulate. In case i obtain (hopefully) my k1 visa, I'm planning to go back to Philippines to spend some time with my family and fly to US with my k1 visa from there. Is it possible to exit from Philippines to US even though my Visa was obtained in UAE?

As far as the US Government is concern, you can fly from anywhere in the world to the US. Not a problem.

The Philippines Government may require you as a PI citizen to have additional paperwork. You may want to check out.

Yes you can fly to the USA from the Philippines with the visa issued in UAE. BUT! You will have to complete CFO and get their sticker in your passport before being allowed to exit (because you have a visa) the Philippines.
