Ok thanks...will get nalang today my AOM then will include it in my appexdix A & passport....

So, can I attend the CFO PDOS anytime this mos. kahit wala pa yung visa ko & yung passport ko nasa CEM?


thanks
Alam ko pwede kasi nag aattend ako before as in no passport kasi requirement sa DFA daw mag attend muna ng cfo before ako magawan ng passport. Tapos balik na lang basta pakita ko yung certificates and receipt para ma affix yung cfo sticker once mareceive ko na passport ko with visa..

in your case i think better wait for the passport, para di ka na magpabalik balik. and by the way they also have an office in Cebu. check mo ung website ng CFO. :)

Ohhh!!! Hmm wala ba silang provincial office?? I will recomend na wait na lng till passport comeback if you have to travel to manila.. Kasi once to attend the seminar with passport with you .. They'll ask to have your passport before starting the seminar the they'll have your passport ready with stickers as soon as the seminar ends

Yes you can, that's what I do while waiting for ppr. I got my passport in CFO yesterday with sticker
So you attended the seminar before you received your PPR letter? Didn't the CFO staff/personnel ask for your passport or visa during the seminar?

Hello! I was thinking kasi na pagattendin na rin si husband ng seminar kahit waiting pa lang kami for PPR niya. Confused lang ako kasi when I checked CFO's website, visa yung isa sa mga requirements nila when attending the seminar. When are you planning to attend the seminar?

yeah, my hubby and i have decided na we will get the max. quantity that the studio could give kasi it did not say nga kung ilan...My other concern is the appendix A, my husband's full name contains 3 names, then his family name, unfortunately d kakasya lahat :( So we're figuring out kung the first or the first two names nya ilalagay ksi kksya:(...
ganyn din po ung sakin. hindi din kaxa kasi two name din po ako.. so ang ginawa ko.. Given name and middle name pinag sama ko
pinaliit ko nalang yung sulat. pinaprint ko ng landscape.. un kc sbi sakin ng consultant ko.. isama ung middle name sa given name..

samin po walang nakalagay. ang tingin ko nga kasma lng sa appendix A ung appendix B sa page. pero hindi xa kasama sa requirements.. kasi ang nakalgay lng sa importante requirements ko.. Fully attached appendix A, RPRF, and passport.., walang nakalagay na photo's pero na submit parin ako ng pics..para cgurado..

RE: CFO SEMINAR

If you are planning to use your married name in your passport you will need to attend first the seminar for you to secure the CFO certificate which is a requirement for changing status/name in our passport. Then you will go back in their office for the cfo sticker once your visa is already issued.

Now if you are waiting for PPR or you just submitted your passport to CEM it is better to wait for you passport to have a visa stamped on it so that you wont need to go back to their office just for the cfo sticker. But if you have the luxury of time you can attend the seminar and just go back again when your visa is stamped.

In my personal experince i attended the seminar prior to application of our file because we wanted to use my married name althroughout our application. So fo me to change my status and name in my passport i have to secure the cfo certificate because its a dfa requirement. So when the time comes that i have my visa with me(hopefully soon :)) i need to go back to cfo and present the certificate that i already attended their seminar to be able to secure the cfo sticker which is mandatory for all immigrants.

Hope this helps..
