CFO = Commission on Filipinos Overseas

It's runs a seminar that all intending immigrants must do:

The PDOS is a brief, two-hour seminar on settlement issues and concerns such as finding employment, rights and obligations of immigrants as well as policies and procedures on how to secure foreign citizenship. The Peer Counseling Seminar is a special session for those with ages 13 to 19 years, which aims to prepare them emotionally for the adjustments they will have to take.

Basically they are prepping the immigrant with all the rules/laws/procedures that they have available when they go abroad.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

It's good to see your sense of humor is still intact inspite of the fiasco.

I remember in 2007 when I received my visa that there was a notice from the US Embassy about attending the CFO. Not sure if they still enclosed that note.

I remember in 2007 when I received my visa that there was a notice from the US Embassy about attending the CFO. Not sure if they still enclosed that note.

A CFO notice was included with Chinook's visa too.

However, we already knew about the CFO requirement thanks to the numerous threads right here on the Philippines forum.

Thanks VJ.
