PDOS is for her kids.  CFO is for my fiancee.  I was hoping for the holidays too.  I dont think that is remotely possible now.

Thanks for answering these ?s

Sure ill have more

 

Scheduling time off at work is a nightmare, but we close for 2 weeks at the holidays, 

That would have been just way to perfect lol

Your NOA2 should be any day now.  You have a good shot for the holiday.  I hope you make it!!!

 

I'm going to Manila later this month because this is taking so long.

Hit the timeline button under your pic....the estimate for NOA2 is there. You guys are one day behind us for NOA1, but the same for estimate of NOA2....9.20 to 9.26....However, it seems to update daily adding a day or two each day. When I started watching the timeline, we had an estimate of 8.24 for NOA2 review. Hang in there!!! it will happen....someday.

Thank you for the info. Each day makes it harder. We are hoping to be done before christmas but also know it may not happen.

Yes it says on the website http://www.cfo.gov.ph/rnr-pdos.html if you scroll through the list when you come to cebu city it says no reservation first come first serve basis. My cousins wife is from there told me for them once they get visa they take it there and do the class. She said she got in line about 6 am.

Yes...for us June filers too.  Now I am also concerned about a backlog for CFO seminar appointments.  I have read here (but not confirmed) that is can be 3 to 4 months to get an opening for the CFO!!!!

Yes you are correct.  I just read through the whole thing again.  My future asawa is from Manila so she is stuck waiting for an appointment that can't be made until after she gets her visa!

I am not sure but is it possible for her to fly to Cebu? Its about 2 hr flight and tickets are about 50 dollars round trip. Its just a thought but maybe speed it up. I wish you all the best luck.

That is an excellent idea. I will have to see when her appointment is after she gets her visa. Flying her and the kids there will be well worth it if I can save a few weeks or months.

I am happy to try and help. Each days we wait is a day closer to the nut house lol. I hate for something like that to keep you all apart.
