She is under 12 so “no.”  There is no CFO for kids course…..yet.

Only needs to be registered to get the sticker

 Just to clarify??  Since we have the same situation too.  We do still have to sign them up for CFO and everything????  They just don't do the phone call, but they do still have the requirement????

I believe there was about 806 days of history given on this one.😉

All other immigrant visas must attend PDOS.  This included IR/CR-2 and K-2.

Must have Visa In Hand before scheduling the seminar or to register to get the sticker.

Adults:  Those 60 and above need only register to get the sticker.  

Derivatives:  Children above 12 years of age must attend PDOS, those younger only need to be registered to get the sticker.  

 

With everything being done online and over the phone, you simply register the youngster with CFO-PDOS ...   The CFO website should have details

OK, we just completed this.  For the stepdaughter we did sign her up for the "pink" PDOS whereas mom had to sign up for the "blue" GCP.  As far as we can tell the daughter needs a unique e-mail address from mom.  The part for the child was easy.  Just follow the "pink" PDOS link.  It only works 7:00AM to 5:00PM. Monday thru Thursday. Upload passport and visa.  We just used phone pictures.  We did it right around 7:00AM and got an auto reply by e-mail requesting us to send the visa, birth certificate and ID to a Gmail address.  We did, got a reply from the counselor at the Gmail address requesting a few more documents and then she sent the unique link you need to complete the registration.  Fill out the forms there and it directs you to pay.  It had a notice there that said credit card payment is not working, but it offered the option to pay by credit card. So being the daredevil that I am, I followed that link to a PayMaya page and contrary to the notice and to my complete amazement, credit card payment actually did work.  Stepdaughter got her temporary certificate by e-mail immediately.

 

Wife was more or less the same process except she had to sign up for the "blue" GCP and had to do the tele counseling before receiving the unique link needed to complete the registration.  Her counseling actually went well.  Registering Monday morning, the counselor replied by email from an actual proper @cfo.gov.ph email address (rather than the Gmail address daughters counselor was using) Monday evening with an appointment for Tuesday afternoon.  Then Tuesday morning the counselor contacted my wife again and asked if she could do it right away.  She did, it took about 20 minutes.  I don't know all the details but apparently nothing to bothersome for my wife.  So now we have the temporary certs for both of them.  Theoretically they both get stickers sent to her house by LBC.  We'll see about that. 

 

To answer a question that often comes up.  They did specifically request a PSA ROM.  We provided one so I can't say what the response would have been if we didn't have one.

 

The first certificate was P581 total with fees.  The second certificate was P461 since it could combine the P120 shipping fee from the first.
