THE Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) is intensifying efforts to protect Filipino participants in the US-Philippines Exchange Visitor Program (EVP), urging applicants to apply directly to accredited American sponsors.

“Applicants should go directly to their program sponsors,” Senior Emigrant Services Officer at the CFO’s Project Management Division, Kristine Joy D. Gacer, said in Filipino in a statement on Sunday. “The US government maintains an official list of designated J-1 visa sponsors on its website, categorized by field, whether for interns, teachers, physicians, or researchers.”

The move comes amid rising concerns over fraudulent practices by unauthorized agents, who often mislead or overcharge applicants.

Ms. Gacer also noted the importance of registering with the CFO upon receipt of a US visa — a step that includes attending a mandatory Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar. Failure to register, she said, may result in delays or denial of departure at Philippine ports of exit.

The EVP operates under the J-1 visa classification and is overseen by the US Department of State. It forms part of a longstanding bilateral initiative aimed at promoting cultural and educational exchange between the Philippines and the US. — Chloe Mari A. Hufana
