What is CFO Seminar?

Traducción al Español

If you are applying for a new passport after having adopted the surname of your US citizen spouse and/or planning to immigrate to the US, you are required to attend the Guidance and Counseling Program offered by the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO). This is a pre-departure orientation required by the Philippines government. Bureau of Immigration officers at the NAIA international port of exit will request for this. Here is a link to register. You will need to print the registration’s barcoded confirmation page: https://cfo.gov.ph/overseas-filipinos-cfo-online-registration-system-or-of-cors-2/

Upon completion, you will receive a Guidance and Counseling certificate. This certificate does not have an expiration date. Once your K1 or immigrant visa package is in your possession, you will need to travel back to CFO to have an emigrant sticker affixed in one of the pages on your Philippines passport.

You can attend the orientation in any of the 4 locations:

• Manila (Appointments only)
• Cebu (First come, first serve basis)
• Clark, Pampanga (First come, first serve basis)
• Davao (Appointments only)

The counseling session can take up to 6 hours.
