Glys interview is on Jan 30th and now we are trying to decide which CFO to apply for. She thinks Davao would be the fastest because, she thinks,  there aren't as many applicants there as there are in Manila, however, I think Manilla may be faster because they have more U.S. seminars daily per week whereas Davao only has seminars for U.S. K1 applicants  a few days per week. Any thoughts? Any experiences to share? Manila, Davao or Cebu?

From recent reports it seems like CFO has got beyond the total scheduling meltdown they were having last summer and appointments are now generally available in the immediate short term future at all locations once someone has the actual visa on hand.  I would probably agree with you that more seminars means more opportunities for appointments in Manila but I would make the decision based on which location is most convenient since I doubt there would be more than a few days difference either way.

We just did CFO in Cebu on Monday.  Appointment slots were available every day.  2pm start time, finished at 4pm, with certificate already delivered by email.  It was shockingly efficient!  Only 4 people attended- 2 K1 and 2 CR1. I agree that you should probably check whichever one is most convenient before trying other locations.

WoW, that's even faster than what I was expecting. Thank you so much for sharing. CFO info is one of those things that rarely get any reviews or attention. Cebu, like Davao seems to have the same number of U.S. seminars per week. Looks like I will have to tell Gly she was right and I was wrong, lol. She loves when that happens, lol.
