Hello,

In regards to CFO seminar, does my wife have to make an appointment for this service, or can she just show up? My wife is expecting her visa via AIR21 delivery this wednesday and I am trying to get her on a flight friday night. Basically, if she can be in Manila by thursday, will we have time to take care of this? Also, what forms will she need to bring with her?

Please, if anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated

CFO Website has this to say about scheduling your Seminar in Manila. I haven't been through it yet so I dont know if it is enforced:

Important Reminder:

Beginning January 2008, all emigrants attending the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) and Peer Counseling must reserve a slot in the session, five (5) working days prior to the intended date of attendance. Reservation for the orientation / counseling sessions can be made through the telephone by calling the PDOS reservation line at (02) 563-1965 or 561-8321 local 103, or via e-mail at pdosreserve@cfo.gov.ph, or online by clicking on the following link:

Thanks again everyone for your good advice. My wife called the CFO office in Manila this morning and they told her she can go to the Good Sheperd Convent to complete this. Has anyone heard of this place??? I tried finding it online, but I didn't get very far. Also, they told her she doesn't need an appointment, that she can just show up the morning of her seminar and to allow at least two days before the flight to complete it. I hope this helps!

She can go morning and after the counselling she can get sticker in her passport.

question: do u only have to take the seminar once, and the sticker and certificate will be valid for life?

CFO seminar will be taken only once if you're going to the same country. But if..say u took seminar for USA..and u re-married to a Japanese, you will have to attend the seminar again for Japan..that's what the counselor said.
