Hello!

Iam planning to do my CFO Seminar at St. Mary (in Quezon City) tomorrow. I just want to know what are the requirements. How many copies of visa and passport they require? Do they limit the number of people who can attend per day or is it ok to go there as long as it is before the scheduled time for seminar (8a.m., 10a.m., 1p.m.)? How about some directions on how to locate the place easier by taking MRT? Iam from Alabang/Laguna?

Thanks!

if you did your medical and interview already, you should've gotten directions and a list of requirements for that. but since it seems you didn't,

bring at least 4 photocopies of visa and passport ID page, only because photocopying is expensive at the CFO.

also make sure you know a lot about your USC fiance, you will need to fill out forms during the seminar.

fee is hopefully still P650 total (bring extra cash to be sure).

it's good to be early so you can get the sticker and certificate early too and go home early as well.

take MRT from baclaran, get off in cubao, take MRT going to katipunan, get off at katipunan stop...st mary's is right beside that station.

if you can, please request the staff to update themselves with the laws and procedures of USCIS and NVC, if they haven't done so yet. they gave completely wrong information to my batch last year.

good luck and god bless! :)

Here is a scan of the St Mary's requirements.

Also, depending on your age you may need parental consent/advice to marry and a signed letter from your parents permitting

you to travel overseas to marry.

i think its less hassle for u to go straight by bus from alabang and get down to Cubao-farmers then go to gateway station to ride LRT going towards santolan and get down at katipunan station.

3 copies of passport and visa (if u have already)- it cost php 3.00/copy inside CFO campus

there arent much attendees. as long as u meet the schedules, no need to rush. u can be done in less than 3 hrs. best of luck :thumbs:

seminar is a breeze. just know ur SO by heart so u can answer the forms and administrator Q&A.

Thanks for the advice. I think I`ll take bus from Alabang to Mantrade, then MRT from Mantrade to Cubao, then take LRT to Katipunan Station :) I only had 2 copies :( for each because the instruction included in the visa package didn`t say how many copies...oh well...

Thanks for the goodluck! Just hope it will not rain so much tomorrow...

Yes,,, the advice is supposed to be notarized,,, However, the letter of approval to travel just needed to be signed.... It was basically just a letter stating I give my daughter permission to travel abroad to join her husband. Not sure why they needed that,,, Since they had the consent/advice document.
