Hi Everyone,

I visited the CFO website tonight and was wondering if attending the seminar and then getting the stamp in my fiancee's passport are done at the same place? These are the two locations I saw listed on the CFO website:

CFO Manila

Citigold Center, 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue

corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway)

Manila, Philippines 1007

CFO Cebu Desk

Causing-Lozada Building, Osmeña Boulevard corner

MJ Cuenco Street, Cebu City, Philippines

Thanks...

sticker must be received where seminar is taken. You can do seminar and return to get sticker once passport is returned. You may hear of an office in the terminal in Manila, but dont risk doing it last minute. It may be closed or someone not there or get the runaround something is missing

If you don't live near any of these two offices, I suggest you do the seminar once you already have the visa. This way, you can attend the seminar, get the certificate and sticker in one day. Just make sure to bring all the required documents. Good luck! :)

Yes. In fact you have to get the sticker at the same CFO office as where you did the seminar.

Did you see that on the CFO website? I couldn't find it.

If it's true, then how is it possible to get a sticker at the airport?

No I didn't see it on the CFO website, someone on here was told by the personnel at CFO that they had to return to the same office.... just repeating it. Yup I know they can get it at the airport (with calling ahead to make sure the person is in the office), it could have been a grumpy or lazy person at that CFO office don't know.

Well it is the Philippines and the rules are whatever they are today! My wife needed the CFO certificate to change her passport to her married name so she went to Cebu for the certificate 3 months before her embassy interview. Then after she received her visa and the day before her flight to the US she got the CFO sticker in Manila. But it would be a good idea to ask when you get the certificate if you can get the sticker at any CFO office after you have visa in hand.
