Great news everyone!!!

We got the visa today thank god.

I am reading post after post about the CFO. That really is her job :wacko: but Jovelyn in on the ferry from Cebu to Manila. She said they wanted too much for the plane ticket so she would take the ferry. So She asked me to find out all I could about the CFO and Email it to her.

I have found most of the information we need. Just two questions, I have traveled with my fiancee to Singapore, if she did not need CFO for that why will she need it now? I mean she had traveled internationally before she and I ever met and she did a stint of work in Singapore, I know she had to get a CFO for that. Is that old CFO still good? Or do we really need to get another one?

Second question: We have stayed at the Citystate tower Hotel on Mabine st several times and Jovelyn is comfortable there is one of the places to get the CFO handy to that area? If not can you recommend a hotel that is handy to one of the CFO places.

Thanks,

Don & Jovelyn

Did she attend the counseling yet? If she did, all she had to do now is go to CFO, bring her passport with visa in it and also the certificate from St. Mary or Prism where she had her counseling. CFO will just put a sticker on her passport. If she will not have this sticker, she can't travel and get on plane.

If your fiancee hasn't attended the counseling yet, she should go to Prism or St. Mary in Manila. But if she is still in Cebu, she can also attend the counseling in the CFO office located at Osmena Blvd. corner MJ Cuenco. After counseling, she will be directed to CFO to get the sticker.

I had work abroad before also and done Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) several times. This is for Working Visa. Counseling in CFO is different. It is for Spousal or Fiancee Visa. They provide inputs and information about the life here in US; who and where to get some help if we will be in trouble.

Good luck to both of you.
