CFO Seminar Now or Later?

[ria_s 0]

Hi guys.

I have a dilemma, which I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me out with since you've been there and done it.

I would like to have my passport renewed. My old one has my maiden name on it and hubby made mention of having it renewed with my married name on my passport. Well I found out I have to take the CFO seminar (which I'll probably be taking in Cebu) if I want it renewed. Or if I don't want to go through all the hoopla now, I could just use my old one , have it stamped as married, and then just use that.

Will it be better to go through with all this now or to just have it all done later? My hubby and I are still in the works of filing his petition for me. And we're confused as to how to proceed.

Many thanks to the people who will reply.

You can do it earlier since there's no expiration of the CFO's certificate but you can't get the sticker yet, you will go back when you already have the visa...

When I changed my passport to my married name, I attended the CFO seminar though we still on the process of gathering our docs and etc for the petition...

You can do it either earlier or later.. sandali lang naman kasi makukuha yung certificate nun..or even the sticker if you already have your passport renewed..

Good luck!!!!

ah so it's acceptable to go there and just get the certificate? i was kinda worried about the whole registration process that came afterward. where did you do your CFO seminar? do i need to be scheduled for an appointment for the seminar or can i just go there directly?

thanks!
