Do you have to give the Visa before you can register my wife showed me a picture and she has to upload her passport and Visa

You can do the cfo before you have the visa. However they won’t give you the certificate until you email them a copy of the visa.

We contacted them by email first. Then a person reached out to us with a date and time to do the cfo. In the email there were some documents we had to email the lady back. Since we didn’t have the visa at the time, we didn’t send that until we got it. We did the cfo in January.

I couldn’t copy the whole email but this should help. As mentioned we didn’t send the visa until later as we didn’t receive that until Feb 6.

Yeah it’s completely ridiculous.  I got to sit and listen to the whole seminar while my fiancé did it over the phone. Just more examples on how the government treats everyone as children. If you look through the Philippines section you’ll find others that had to send background checks etc etc etc. Our CFO process was pretty straight forward and the lady that did it was quite good on sending everything on time.
