Thanks for copying and pasting what's already on the CFO website. I was hoping someone here would be nice enough to confirm what I'm asking because that website is a bit confusing. First of all what is a Duly completed Emegrant registraton form? I never heard of that.Duly completed Guidance and Counseling form? What is that? Where do you get that do they fill it out there or before? Please someone help.

Hi!

If you're taking the CFO Seminar in Manila, they will do that in CFO Aurora Blvd, infront of PSBA college. Your fiancee can take the MRT (not LRT) and just get down in Katipunan station and can walk from there. Per my experienced, your fiancee can go there around 9 AM because it will start at 10. Their room can hold up to 60 people and there's a slim chance that it will be fully occupied. She needs to show 2 IDs and please do give her your personal information like your address, place of birth, parents name, occupation etc. etc. She will need that in filling up some documents. Take note that this is for her COW. After receiving the certificate of COW, she can now get the CFO certificate and there's a small office in there where she can get that (I'm assuming that she does not have her visa yet, so she cannot get the stamp yet). To get the stamp she needs to come back after receiving the visa and just show the CFO certificate.

Hope it helps.
