Those who availed of the consular and OV services during the event expressed their appreciation to the team for holding the event in Kansas. This meant that they no longer have to drive for eleven (11) hours to the Consulate General in Chicago.
Outreach missions are regularly held to bring the Consulate’s consular services closer to Filipino and Filipino-American communities in US Midwestern states, outside of Illinois, under the Consulate’s jurisdiction. This outreach activity was Post’s first for the year.
