PhilippinesRequirements for CFO
QUOTE (jerzboi @ Oct 10 2007, 02:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thank you all for your advice, Eve got through her CFO seminar although she had to pay for pictures even thought she had her own and she also had to pay for some book they gave her. After the interview Eve will go back for the stamp so that's one more thing out the way.


When I pay the P250 fee, picture is included there since they shot it using a pc cam and the books they gave me is for free. I pay another P400 for the green certificate. How much did she pay for the picture and the books? blink.gif blink.gif

PhilippinesRequirements for CFO
I have some friends who got their yellow certificate last Oct. 5 at PDOS office in front of De La Salle Univ and asked them to go back when they have their visa so they can get their green certificate and the stamping. As I have read the pinay's experiences here and my friend's experience, I can say I had a smooth experience in CFO. I attended my CFO seminar last May coz I need to have the certificate for the DFA to issue me a passport. They just asked me for my birth and marriage certificate, NBI and some valid id's. I went there 10 am and got both my blue and green certificate by 2 since they had their lunch break thing. They let us watch a film showing some pinays being battered by their foreign husbands, we undergone both panel and one on one interview. I was shocked that they asked my husband's divorce paper, thank God I brought it with me and don't need to go back. They just advice me to go back there when I have my visa for the stamping. smile.gif

PhilippinesCFO Seminar - What do I do?
I attend my CFO at St. Marys Euphrasia too in Cubao, Quezon City and they has this canteen-like waiting area. I saw the PRISM office in front of Taft as a chaperon to my friend, there is a waiting area but not as big as the SMEF. I suggest to let her do it now since she already had her visa. Less hassle and more free time with u. LOL tongue.gif

Philippinesfasting for medical
QUOTE (luvbugs4ever @ Oct 12 2007, 10:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You don't need to do fasting rather you need to eat a lot cuz u'll get hungry from waiting. Take your medical exam a month or weeks earlier than your schedule so you'll have allowance time in case something unexpected comes up with the result of your exam. And if you're just within Metro Manila better do it on afternoon cuz it's not that too busy already and you won't late too long.


I am within the Manila area. I thought it is better to do it in the morning? What do u think is the best time? Thanks in advance smile.gif

QUOTE (runs4fun @ Nov 2 2007, 08:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thanks for the advise. I will have her go early, and I will se if her mom can go with her. It sounds like a long day or maybe even tow days.
Should I plan on her staying there for two days? Thats what it sounds like from most of the people who have gone through it already.
Thanks to all and good luck with the rest of the process.
We are hoping for a late Jan or early Feb interview.......so I will try and see if she can go mid Dec for the medical.
Thanks again


The medical will last for 2 days if the results are all negative.
Just let her go there early so she will be done before lunch and can rest after.
Her mom can go with her but she can't go inside the clinic premises, just let her mom stay home or in the hotel.
She needed an appointment letter for them to let her in. Good luck to her. She can do it. Quite easy though. LOL wink.gif

QUOTE (Tsup2 @ Nov 1 2007, 10:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My Fiance didnt depart St. Lukes until 8:30pm on the first day. On the second day she was instructed to return at 1pm and didnt leave until 7pm. She was told to wait for her results then informed hours later that she has to wait for her results to be released because her sons medical was not completed because he needed a tuberculosis test. To do the test takes 3 days. This didnt work with her travel plans so she has to return to St Lukes next week to have him tested and then await the results. This will mean extra days in Manila before her interview is on November 8th. If there is one thing I have learned about this K1 process it is that you have to expect the unexpected. Also, it's much more costly and time consuming than I ever anticipated.


Thats true. Thats why I did my medical 3 weeks earlier. I heard a staff who talked to a girl that she needed this and that and the girl asked him back that her interview is on the 7th but the guy told her that they will just comunicate with US embassy and reschedule her interview. sad.gif Anyway, good luck to ur fiancee. smile.gif

That's the reason I guess sis Rina. Some of the them are running out of time coz of their interview dates like Nov. 5, 6, 7 and so on. They were shocked when I told them that I will have my interview on the 21st. It's better to be early than sorry. LOL tongue.gif

My husband received the packet last Oct. 20 and since I am planning to go for an early medical, I let him fedex it to me.

The contents of the packets were just the same. smile.gif (2 pages of appointment letter and the checklist of all the documents needed for the interview)
