Hi everyone

I am truly happy that a lot of us have updates in our ecas this week. Sana next week may updates uli. :)
I just like to share what I have been doing while waiting for the release of my visa. I have already attended and received my Guidance Counseling Certificate from PRISM last February. Hinihintay ko na lang ang visa para makakuha ako ng CFO sticker. I have also started organizing my things separating the items I want to bring with me when I migrate. Kulang ang isang baggage to accommodate them all. Hay naku...excited lang talaga ako makita at makapiling ang aking asawa. Is there anyone here in this forum who is a nurse? Thanks..
I'm a nurse :)

Hello again everyone. I was going over the list of stuff I need to do to fix our application after our wedding. I wanted to ask the ladies if all of you went to DFA to have your passports changed to reflect your married name? Kasi may nabasa ako sa thread na to na it's possible na pag application for citizenship na papapalitan yung married name? How does it go? Thank you :)

I been in that situation, I used to had old Passport but my status in there was single. But after my hubby and I got married last year May 5, 2011 I changed my status in my passport after. So one of the thing I did was. I attended the counseling May 28, 2011 in Quezon City which one of the DFA's requirements.

Here's one of the requirements on how to change your status in Passport in DFA:
- orig. marriage certificate (from NSO)
- Certificate of Attendance by SMEF-COW (from CFO) (photo copy)


You may read the link below for more info. on how to attend the counseling

Thank you Jenifer! I'm not sure pero di ko naman ata kailangan ng CFO seminar? Kasi PR pa lang naman si boy so pag may visa na chaka mag PDOS. Fast forward, pero tama naman ba? :) Thank you sa reply!
