PhilippinesOMG no..CFO cert....not allowed to board plane..at NAIA

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.



well im calmer now..earlier i was a wreck..Posted Image , but anna says she mentioned it 2 me..n she says i said u dont need that.." i think its only 4 married coulpe already"....well now...i guess we can add this...2 the journey...lols.....
hugz VJ family..

PhilippinesRetiring in the Philippines

I love putting the cart before the horse (heck we just got the NOA1) but I am getting up there in age and a person needs to think of their options...

After hundreds of hours of talking with my love, we have covered many subjects as we have gotten to know each other. One of our conversations revolves around where we would retire. She is from the far north of the Phils and has a great established family there. I live in Minnesota where it is very cold in the winter and I don't have a large family.

I love the thought of living out our lives together on a quiet beach and just watching the sunset and maybe occaisionally watching the sunrise. Financially if things go as planned we should be able to make this dream come true.

Is there anyone else that is contemplating something like this???



thats 'our' plan..:)....
myb someday all us VJ's could meet 4 coffee .
enjoy the jouney...Posted Image

They will know..thats what i heard from that counseling..once they type the US citizen/ur fiance they will know how many divorce he had or if he in the block list.,etc..so u better know all about him,actually yah that is none of their business..they do that counseling for us to have knowledge and be aware of whatever happens..they will give info.too. Still its our choices..thats what we want..their are not the wall for it k..Posted Image

PhilippinesHave now CFO certficate n stamp..!!>> but still hve 1 question here..help me plz...:P

btw, do they require original copy of divorce papers during the CFO seminar? scanned copy lang kasi ang nasa sakin.. pati na rin sa interview, kailangan ba original copy sa divorce and ITR?


No they ddnt asked for that..my fiance was divorced too..but i never had his paper/that doc's on processing my visa at philippines..his the one i think gave it when he filed the petition here in US..Posted Image

Might have something to do with getting a replacement ticket???

It seems to state that the reason you were denied a bording pass was because of no CFO...

Now that you have the sticker in your passport I would think you can file it under lesson learned...

Good luck on your flight!!

Safe Journey!




Yes i've learned alot in this process ha..hehe..i pay for 25$ for penalty...it cost 1,390 in peso..got new e-ticket number..and ready na again to fly on the 14th..kasi thats their available sched..thanks VJ...Posted Image

Lets hope "ready to go", don't forget Departure Tax and Travel Tax, and maybe a new airline ticket?

thanks for the info.
For now, hinihintay pa namin ang NOA2 but i am just preparing in advance. Posted Image
Davao kasi ako kaya mahirap para sakin na pumunta sa manila for interview and medical exam, then balik again for CFO seminar bago flight to US. Kasi for us to save trip, I am just planning to do it the day before my flight.
I am also worried about Visa fee kung BDO davao branch will accept my payment but will call them tomorrow to inquire.
Is there anything I need to prepare that you can suggest?
God bless Posted Image



By the way girl..u can attend CFO na in advance kahit wla ka pang visa..kasi yung iba ko na nakasabay sa counseling..wla pa eh..so u can attend it now na..so when u got ur visa..u can plan na for buying ticket..just bring ur passport some id too..dun ka narin bibigyan ng form nila..u can fill out it der b4 the counseling session..ready 650 pesos..just hve a list of ur fiance's info..kasi kaylanagan alam mo un lahat ok..even landline number nya..maiden name ng mother nya..sinasabi ko na lahat sau para alam mo na ang expectations der..Posted Image yung iba kasi di nabigyan kasi di alam lahat ng info ng fiance eh..tapos bumagsak ata sa nterview,ung one on one counseling with the counselors...so go na now para ready na yang cfo mo..sandali lng naman un..halos 6 hrs lang ako nadun eh..Posted Image

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting I-134 in to consulate where visa is being applied at
hi , u dont say what embassy ur interview is at, but my suggestion is 2 download the i134 fill it out, print it, take it 2 a notary ,sign it..and photocopy the completed i134.....the CO may still reguire the original...but at least ur fiance will have a completed i134 for her interview....
good luck.
