PhilippinesCFO

They have a visa. They live in Negros quite far from Cebu and Manila and it's already Friday I don't think they can fly to Manila or cebu now.
Can they do proxy?


NO, you need to re-schedule their flight then so that they can attend the CFO in Manila or Cebu

PhilippinesMy view… probably will give some sort of understanding

Hi! I still think that your situation has a little bit relation to this culture and also common "family attitude". Many Filipinos think that if you can afford to go abroad means you have money and it doesn't matter whether you are earning or not. It's really sad, but your mom probably let her siblings depend on her all the time, which probably results them to becoming a bum. It's so common in the Philippines, and I guess most of the Filipino families experience it, you are not alone. LoL. Talking ***t when they couldn't get what they wanted, it is so common. :)
But what I can say is that, at the common ground, its Filipino culture to help their families. But it's up to the provider on how to set their limitation, and handle the situation.


i can relate on this.... this is happening to me now LMAO

PhilippinesTorn Yellow Envelope

My Fiancee was so excited about receiving her Visa that she started to open the yellow envelope before whe red the warning not to tear or open the visa. The waring says she will not be allowed to embark on the plane or have significant delays at her POE. What do we need to do or how can I rectify this before she leaves?


sorry if off topic but i see you're from VA too, where in VA if i may ask :D

PhilippinesCFO seminar question

attending the seminar is more stressful than going for medical and interview.. especially after the seminar, claiming the BDO thing. it took a long time till i claim and proceed to CFO Office. they said they start at 9.30am but we started around 11am :(


i think you were talking about customs form i forgot what u call it but they will give it to you at the plane before you land on your POE

PhilippinesCFO Seminar at PRISM

Thanks for the description. What is the point of the BDO cards if you are leaving the country? Do they have some easy way to deposit money overseas so relatives can access it??

The cebu version is 400 pesos so i guess they just include the photocopies. We are just going to wait for our packet to get here before she goes.


tell your wife to ignore that BDO thing thats completely BS

PhilippinesCFO Seminar at PRISM

Thanks -- i keep hearing about people taking the seminar before they get their visa -- how are they doing it if the immigrant summary is required? Do they have to go back and submit it later when they get the stamp?


you can take the seminar while you still waiting for your visa then just go back after you have your visa in hand you have to take your passport w/ the visa and the IDS to get the sticker/stamp

PhilippinesFilling for Spousal Visa

- We're still deciding what type of spousal visa to go through. Which do you think guys is better, is it K3 or will I go with CR-1?
- How I understand on filing spousal visa is like this: (pls. correct me if I'm wrong)
File for I-130 with g-325a with all the required documents then after you received the receipt from USCIS you may file for I-129f petition indicating the desire to obtain a K3 visa( will I have to give the same requirements if I'll file for I-129f) or I can go with CR-1 after I-130?
- Lots of inquiries I'm getting nuts already, thou I thank VJ coz it's been so useful for anyone who needs to know about visa and there journey to be with there love ones. Good luck to everyone. :innocent: :yes:


K3 is obsolete better file for CR1 she will have her 2 yr GC when she gets here
