I attended the seminar at CFO in Cubao (front of PSBA) back in August 2008 even though at that time our papers is not yet filed in USCIS...
Now that i got my visa, I went back to CFO for them to put a sticker on my passport.. Without this sticker, you are not allowed to leave the country - whether you have your ticket or you are already in the airport they will not allow you.. Sorry!
The seminar took almost an hour including a short interview (this was last year of August) but since I met a fellow Filipina awhile ago, she told me that its different now. Those who has an immigrant visa, you will be in a separated room from those who has working visa.
Last year, we're all in the same room...
As i remember, the CFO lady showed us a short video(Magandang Gabi Bayan) about a Filipina who met her fiance through the internet. The guy is from Europe and he petitioned this Filipina even though they dont know each other that much and when the Filipina arrived in the country, she was treated so bad from this guy and she became a sex slave. The guy brought her to an icy mountain and he told her to take off the clothes because she will be posing in a porn magazine. She was all naked and she felt soo cold but she has no choice.. Lesson learned? The CFO asked us what was the problem? Well its so easy.. Never commit yourself to someone if you really dont know that person most especially if you just met that person within just few weeks or 3 to 6 months.. its not enough.. 
She also told us about the culture of other countries in our own culture... its a big difference i know lol
Anyways, they gave us their contact numbers so that if ever something happen or if ever we got a problem while in abroad, we can dial their number and ask for help.
These are some of the pictures of CFO in Cubao (this is in front of PSBA besides the Katipunan MRT Station)
