PhilippinesWhat are the requirements for the CFO?
QUOTE (RDDIXON @ Mar 23 2009, 03:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Right its better to wait your visa first before you go to CFO and I recommend ST. MARY'S for your CFO SEMINAR because they are nice and the sticker is within the building of ST. MARY'S. They will attach the sticker in your visa after the seminar and they give you a certificate. I attended my CFO seminar in the morning then at night time is my flight going to AMERICA and there is no problem. That is my experience in my CFO seminar at ST. MARY'S.

Good luck...
GOD BLESS US MORE AND GOD BE WITH US ALL THE TIME...

QUOTE (craigscomputer @ Mar 25 2009, 12:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Can others who have passed the interview respond? I'm still confused. Can someone help? My fiancee just finished with her interview. The consul didn't say she was approved, but she did receive a pink slip and paid the Air21.

Does this mean she is approved?

I called the embassy and they tell me they have everyone pay the Air21 and it could still take up to four weeks to review everything. But they didn't ask my fiancee for any other paperwork or indicate that is wasn't approved.

Please help!!! I'm not sure what to think right now



Congrats! She's approved!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Thanks! Do I need to bring the I-129f copy?

QUOTE (Donald-n-Analyn @ Mar 30 2009, 10:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
This is a checklist that I made for our interview. We had no problems or issues at all.

With the I-134 affidavit of support, be sure to read the instructions carefully. The accompanying proof depends on what the petitioner is using as his basis for support. If he is relying on income, then he needs W-2 forms, pay stubs, and a letter from his employer. If he is relying on assets, then he needs proof of the assets, such as bank or investment statements. I took some bank statements even though they were not strictly required. It is better to take too much than not enough!

Good Luck & Ingats!

Do I need to register my marriage with the NSO first before getting the CENOMAR? Or just get the CENOMAR without registering my marriage?

Thank you.



I think you dont need to register your marriage there in NSO.... If you are applying for K3 or CR-1 visa, you need CENMAR and if you are applying for K1 visa,you will need CENOMAR. CENMAR means certification marriage and the CENOMAR means certification of no marriage.

try bringing that with you to your next interview. Better yet have your school certify that it's a genuine yearbook and that's really you on that picture. It's better to be over prepared. Good luck. smile.gif





How can you go for the interview with no Passport???





she HAS a passport, but the CO asked for more proof of identification because of doubts on authenticity of her NBI certificate.



Yeah! I have here a passport.. We're talking here about the additional proof of my identity.

hi VJ family,

i ordered my cenomar in pasay last december 18,2008 then it said released was jan 12,2009 but until now i didnt get it to their office. its because i ordered another cenomar through NSO hotline . That one i passed when i passed the additional doc last jan 12. Then after i had now my visa. My prob now is im gonna go back to USEM this coming april 17 soon for the interview of my daughter which is 1 yr old. And i want to bring cenomar just incase, can i get that cenomar which i ordered last december ven though releasing was jan 12? i still have the receipt here.
pls advice


I think you can get your CENOMAR that you'd ordered as long as you have a receipt of it and I think that you wont need that CENOMAR for the interview of your daughter and you had a visa already.

i hope so CO wont ask cenomar. and i hope she can have her visa soon or the interviewer will approve her. pray for us. i need it. thanks to the lord for everything


It wont be hurt if you will get your cenomar that you'd ordered, just in case if they will need your cenomar but I am sure they wont ask a cenomar because she's still a baby... I know that interviewer will approve your daughter, just keep praying and I will include you into my prayers.

Abby, Mona and I are praying for you and it was a pleasure to get to meet you. I know that it is difficult right now, just keep faith that God will lead you through this setback. Just gather all you can from the list you showed me. The other posters are correct it is not a denial, they want you to prove your case. And yes the Embassy will be hard on honest people because they also deal with the "not so honest" people. It is not fair or right but it is the way they have to do things to protect the US Government and also the applicants. As we talked the day of your interview, you did everything right at the interview, You stood up for yourself during the questioning by the CO and defended your case well. Don't worry Abby you will have your visa. Just collect all you can and be as complete as possible then put it in God's hands. Mona is here for you if you need to talk you haveher number and can call anytime.



Thanks Mark and ate Mona... I was so glad that I met you there. Thanks for the comfort when I was depressed. I really didnt know what to do at that time and I thank God that you were there beside me.

Maybe it could help. Try also to secure a certified true copy of your voters registration record. Voters affidavit is a good proof of evidence that you are in the same person who appeared in your NBI clearance. Go to your municipal COMELEC or wherever place you registered and get copies. Your NBI record, passport, school records, and even your CENOMAR should match together.

What they asked you to submit? Follow their instruction and accomplish , you will be fine.


I got already the voters affidavit last friday and got new NBI, BC, and cenomar... I will try to get the certification from my grade school teachers, high school teachers and my professors before.... I hope everything will be fine...
