[Wondering Soul 0]

is it ok to go to CFO without CENOMAR on hand? I submitted my CENOMAR during interview.. i am now currently waiting for visa packet to arrive.. yesterday, i went to NSO to get it but they told me CENOMAR will be released next week tuesday.I wanna attend CFO seminar as soon as i received visa probably today or next day.

yes i know.. thanks but my concern s about CENOMAR. i have all necessary requirements that counselor may ask during one on one interview except my CENOMAR. i called CFO last monday, i asked f s there a need for me to bring CENOMAR with the fact that embassy already approved me.. she said its not an assurance.. i wanna ask anyone here f they experienced a counselor asked for their CENOMAR though they have visa already..

You're done reading all 1500 CFO posts? Wow.

If you attended interview, you had a CENOMAR, right? And it was within 6 months? So why not just bring it to the CFO with you? Or did you surrender your only copy?

I attended my CFO in Cebu last May, they asked for my CENOMAR/ Advisory on Marriages. My batchmates under K1 visas were asked also for their CENOMAR's. Based on my experience, they asked for it twice, during registration and during the one-on-one interview. CFO did not keep my CENOMAR/Advisory on marriage certificate, they just wanted to see if I have it.

IMO, just wait until next week when your CENOMAR will be released, to avoid unnecessary delays.

Good luck.

Well, if you use Hank's guide: http://visaconnection-philippines.com/# Click on CFO at the top, you will see what is required. CENOMAR is one that is. So maybe you should get it before attending. No rush on attending CFO, just has to be done before you depart.

For CFO Cebu, I arrived around 6:30am and I was #3 for USA.. If in Manila, I think you have to be there very early.
