I was just adding up all the fees to send to my fiancee so she knows how much everything will be. Thought others might like the information. Also attached is a list to follow once the paperwork is at the embassy. Tried to be as inclusive as possible without being too much. This is geared for my fiancee which has never been married and does not have any children.

Money needed for Fiancée

Application fee ($131 dollars paid in Pesos) approx 5300

Document Verification Fee 650

Commission of Filipinos Overseas counseling (CFO) (Pesos) 250

Attended at

St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation-Center for Overseas Workers (SMEF-COW)

or

People's Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization Inc. (PRISM)

Medical Exam ($182.65 dollars, has to be paid in Pesos) approx 7400

CFO Registration (Pesos) 400

DELBROS Delivery 300

TOTAL 14300 Pesos

Approx $ 375 Dollars

What about airline fees to Manila, food, taxis, and hotel? Add another 50 php for the DELBROS document verification fee.

Fantastic information, I immediately saved it to my hard drive. I'd like to see what else any others may have to add and make changes accordingly but it seems very thorough as is.

Great work, Thank you

Thanks for the replies.

Being in the military I like everything very structured, in order and try not to leave anything to chance. Like the Sherriff said, it did help me relax.

I will feel sorry for Leejoy a week before her interview because I will be drilling her with questions.

I thank everyone on this site for all the great information.
