I'm sure there are answers to this but I need help on this right away! My fiance is stressing to the gills about this. Someone please help me.

I have a question about this requirements list:

<< 1. Original valid passport;

2. Original and photocopy of visa;

3. One (1) 2x2 or passport-size photograph;

4. One (1) valid identification card with photograph;

5. Original and photocopy of Confirmation of Permanent Residence (for CANADA-bound emigrant);

6. Original and photocopy of Immigrant Data Summary (for USA bound emigrant);

7. Original and photocopy of the Embassy Certification of Eligibility (for Spain bound C visa holders);

8. Original and photocopy of letter of approval for Work to Residence visa (for New Zealand bound emigrants);

9. Photocopy of employment contract(for immigrant workers);

10. Duly completed registration form (downloadable at www.cfo.gov.ph);

11. Payment of P400.00 registration fee ; and

12. Attendance in the PDOS or peer counseling session;>>

What is the Immigrant Data Summary???? :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: I must have missed this when I read the list the first time. Just what is this thing, how and where does she get it, and is it too late for her to get it now?

Also...."Duly completed registration form". She HAS to get this online? I thought she fills this out at the CFO?

I'm confused and stressed now. Please help. :unsure:

Immigrant Data Summary is only for CR1/IR1 filer but if you are k3 and k1 filer you dont need to have that Immigrant Data Summary and dont worry about the registration form they will give you on the day of the seminar..

Where does your Fiancee will attend the seminar?

Thank you so much! HUGE sigh of relief here!

Well, she's attending it at Manila.

I keep hearing from everyone that Cebu is much easier with the CFO. However, that's not an option with my fiance.

So, everything should be OK?

December 5, 2005: We met online and our lives changed--instant connection, became best friends

May 15, 2006: She is put on temporary hold from her job and asks me if I could hold on for her in the event she didn't get the job back. I said "yes, of course" and she finally proclaimed her love to me and admitted she'd loved me since February.

September 25, 2006: I land in Manila airport and rush into my baby's arms for the first time. We were both surprised to realise we were NOT nervous.

September 25, 2006: Our first kiss :P

September 27, 2006: I proposed to her in person and she accepted! :)

December 20, 2006: Mailed I-129 K1 petition to Texas service Center

January 15, 2007: Petition returned to me rejected :/ (placed wrong amount on check--duh!)

Febrary 10, 2007: Resubmitted the petition adding updated info pages and a CORRECT check

February 26, 2007: NOA1

May 28, 2007: I land in Manila on our anniversary and we feel whole and complete yet again :)

June 20, 2007: NOA2 which said it would take six months for an interview (Dunno why it said that)

August 4, 2007: My baby receives Packet 4 unexpectedly out of nowhere--the frantic cramming begins

August 23, 2007: Frantically prepared documents FedExed

August 30, 2007: My baby has a long two days at St. Lukes but checks out fine! :)

September 6, 2007: Interview date: after 8 agonising hours--APPROVED!!! :D

September 6, 2007: Plans for her arrival in January 2008 for our wedding are established! :)

January 28, 2008: Marriage

Well, if she really wanted to have the seminar in Manila and it will be more convenient for her it would be ok!

Just want to share what are the things that I bring during my CFO seminar aside from passport and visa..

PHOTO COPY OF DIVORCE DECREE

PICTURE'S OF MY FIANCE AND ME

LETTER OF INTENT

PHOTO COPY OF MY FIANCE's BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Before I went to the seminar I called them and asking them what to bring and the guy said just bring all the papers that was left from the interview..

Hello, all! I plan on flying my fiance in this January 18. She has her K1 visa but still needs to attend her CFO. I went to the website and saw this:

<< 1. Original valid passport;

2. Original and photocopy of visa;

3. One (1) 2x2 or passport-size photograph;

4. One (1) valid identification card with photograph;

5. Original and photocopy of Confirmation of Permanent Residence (for CANADA-bound emigrant);

6. Original and photocopy of Immigrant Data Summary (for USA bound emigrant);

7. Original and photocopy of the Embassy Certification of Eligibility (for Spain bound C visa holders);

8. Original and photocopy of letter of approval for Work to Residence visa (for New Zealand bound emigrants);

9. Photocopy of employment contract(for immigrant workers);

10. Duly completed registration form (downloadable at www.cfo.gov.ph);

11. Payment of P400.00 registration fee ; and

12. Attendance in the PDOS or peer counseling session;>>

My questions:

Photocopy of visa? From what she told me, she received her visa in an unopened envelope that was supposed to stay unopened until her port of entry in the US in which US officials would then open it so how can she have a photocopy of her visa? I'm confused.

Also, does she get her CFO approval stamp/sticker right at the CFO? She was planning on going this week.

Please answer these questions. Thank you!

I'm planning marriage to her this January 28th, our two year anniversary!

hello! i just had my CFO seminar yesterday ( cebu ) and i was there at 8am my time and was done with them at 3pm..your fiancee should bring the ff:

1. original and photocopy of her birth certificate

2. 2 valid ID's and a photocopy

3. original and photocopy of her passport

4. P250.00 as registration fee

5. legal documents of the petitioner (eg. photocopy of passport, divorce decree, b-certificate...)

6. a photo of you together.

you cannot set an appointment in there so better tell your fiancee to be there before the registration time 8am-9am coz they will just entertain 15 persons each day and you dont know how many persons will be attending seminar on that day.after the guidance and counseling she will be given a " guidance and counseling certificate of attendance " which she will going to present to the CFO office to get her "guidance and counseling certificate" and of course a fee of P400.00 will be paid to...after her interview or if she had her visa on hand she will just present the "guidance and counseling certificate to the CFO officer to get her CFO sticker. hope that will help.
