Name change/CFO/Travel questions ...

[Zanby 1]

Greenbaum,

It's the main reason why I am bunking outta here

Take my PLDT as another example. It's been 3 days and no internet and they have replaced 3 modems in year

I had to go out and buy a pocket wifi which hardly works

Hank,

I guessed so too. Why brother thinking?

Cristina,

Many thanks for the info!

However, I don't remember anything related to LBC? May be when I go to NSO they'd ask for another "Advanced Endorsement" fee where LBC would come to the picture??

I think the Family Planning thing might be required if the Filipina was below some age? Mine is over 30 so they didn't ask for it.

Now, another question to whoever can answer it ...

I intend on doing a DCF because we live in the PI and her current passport (with the old name) expires in 2019.

To do the name change in her passport (before the interview at the USEM), one would have to go the DFA which will require a CFO certification. Doesn't that mean going twice to the CFO? Once before the passport name change and one after the interview?

I see alot of people only do the CFO, for the sticker, once as the last step though?

Where did I go wrong?

The MRS went to CFO to get the certificate to enable her to use her married name. When she gets her visa she will go back to CFO with the original CFO certificate to have it and CFO sticker put in her passport.

Thanks folks!

So, one should keep in mind that the petitioner would have to go twice to the CFO if a change of name in the passport is needed.

I won't rant ... they told me it's going to be a lot of fun at the airport
