CFO STRESSED

[Juddand sheryl 2]

Alright so yesterday my Fiance did her CFO she completed everthing but at the end they put her on hold because she was missing my passport info showing the stamps from when I visited we had no clue they needed this. Well this morning I emailed it to her so she can run it over in the morning my question is do you all think this could be a long hold because she flies back home at 2pm then she is booked to fly to the US on thursday? Im very panicked about the situation. Please advise

You should not buy non-refundable airline tickets for someone until the visa in their hands.

She already has the visa in her hands. What she doesn't have in her hands is her passport with a CFO sticker in it. The CFO sticker will be required for her to travel to the U.S.

Ah, my apologies for not understanding then.

Your fiancée needs to go to the CFO as early as possible and let them know when she's scheduled to leave. They should be able to accomadate her.

Ah, my apologies for not understanding then.

However, your advice about the airline ticket still holds: it's safer to wait until everything is in hand.

Other posters have also said the sticker can be obtained at Manila Airport, just a thought, might want to find those posts as they detail exactly where in NAIA it can be applied

I do understand I probably should of held of on purchaseing the ticket but as I understood CFO it was a simple thing to do I underestimated the process as she did also thankfully its just the one item they need. Im just concerned because a little hic up can cause a lot of issues and Im trying to see if this has been encountered before and how long did it hold others up

She needs the CFO certificate before she can get the sticker. She'll have to go to the CFO office.

[Joshua@Tinz 52]

Ah yes, I misunderstood it, thought she already had the cert

Hank and I have step by step instructions and what documents are needed and where to get them. Just follow the links in our signature boxes at the arrows. That was an item that is listed in both our guides that is required. Hope we can save you some lost time going forward.

She flies to the U.S. on Thursday.

OP, not to worry you but to lend some very recent experience to this....

My fiancee completed CFO her and got her certificate, they would not give her the sticker because they said they wanted to research some things...whatever that means. She went back three days later and they told her they wanted a copy of my birth cert and she gave it to them that day. It was another week before they gave her the sticker. My situation is not the norm but there are stories like this if you look deep in the forums. It took about two weeks from seminar to get her sticker, though she got the cert the same day. She flew here last week after that fiasco...and now we have to deal with CBP here because immigration didn't take her yellow packet...I have it at the house. Yes, I know what is and isn't in the mysterious packet...and I learned some things about the process after seeing what's in there. Anyway, hopefully you fair better than she. I would definitely bring in the airline confirmation/form.

I also plan to monitor my credit the next year or so....lol
