Hi,

 

My wife is Filipino, but received a K1 visa 2 years ago while living in Singapore and moved to the US. We are now visiting in the Philippines and I saw a post on a Philippines group on Facebook saying all Filipinas traveling out of the Philippines need a CFO sticker in their passport. My wife never attended a CFO seminar because she was living in Singapore when I met her. Will my wife be able to travel back to the US from the Philippines without a CFO sticker since she is already a US permanent resident? I see many different responses online when searching this question. Thanks for the help!

And that is why you should avoid facebooth "knowledge" groups ... or should I say "lack of knowledge" ... jeez they are full of bad advice.

 

All EXITING Emigrates must attend CFO  .... which you wife is not as she has a green card already.   There are no worries about your wife never attending CFO, or not having a sticker in her passport from CFO ... as she has a...

GREEN CARD!!  :thumbs:

 

Enjoy your visit, have a great time!    And .. present your green card at check-in at the airport when you head back home after your visit.
