Hi guys,

I just checked my CEM and it says they already looking our application. The started to process it. I hope its not too long to wait. Did anyone here knows how long does it take to wait until the they sent back the passport with the Visa??

Frustrating and anxious to wait whats the decision made. I hope its positive! Crossed fingers!

GOodluck to everyone for their Visa's and PPR! :D :)

Guys gusto ko lang na maliwanagan mabuti :'( I appreacite ung message sakin ni anndc at ojenifero re CFO. bakit po ung iba website ang nakalagay monday TO friday sa SMEF-COW at ung sa ibang post naman tuesday AND friday lang


http://www.smef-cow-phil.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=68

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spouse-family-class-timeline-manila-visa-office-philippines-t40680.20850.html

yan ung links where I saw this scheds, nalilito lang ako jan.

anyway, isa monday ko po kase plan mag attend ng counselling - question, since sabi sa SMEF-COW is ONE STOP PROCESSING don , how about sa PRISM? do i have to go to SMEF-COW for the CFO sticker? im kind of confuse since plan ko kc monday mag counselling since sunduin ako fren ko kc nakaleave sya ng monday, tuesday sana ako attend sa SMEF-COW kaso nababasa ko ung tuesday AND friday na yan eh holiday sa MAY 1 and that is tuesday divah?! so kung ganun nga ang sked nila sa MOnday ako sa PRISM..kung sa PRISM ako aatend san ang CFO sticker sa SMEF-COW ba? hay nakuh pasensya na akoy makulit sa CFO na ito.PIZ!!!!
Sis.. Actually dyan din kami nalito ng hubby ko pero sya kasi ang nagexplain saken.. Yung counseling na Tuesday and Friday schedule at 1:30pm na nakita mo dito sa link na ito (http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1348:fiancee-spouses-and-other-partners-of-foreign-nationals&catid=140) ay kung doon ka mismo pupunta sa CFO office [Citigold Center, 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway) Manila, Philippines] at kukuha ng CFO sticker. Pero ang counseling sessions talaga ay doon sa SMEF-COW or PRISM.

Sa SMEF-COW office [Good Shepherd Convent 1043 Aurora Boulevard Quezon City Philippines] ang schedule ng sessions nila ay Monday to Friday at 8:30am, 11:00am, and 1:00pm for all countries. Since SMEF-COW has ONE STOP PROCESSING for its CFO Guidance and Counseling, it's better na dyan magpunta para after ng counseling ay makuha mo na din agad yung CFO sticker at hindi ka na magpunta sa CFO office in Manila. http://www.smef-cow-phil.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=68

Kung sa PRISM ka naman pupunta, after ng counseling dun you have to go sa CFO office pa para lang makakuha ng CFO sticker. So medyo cause pa sya ng hassle kasi dalawang office/location pa pupuntahan mo. Unlike sa SMEF-COW, dun makukuha mo na lahat ng kailangan. Si hubby ko monday sya nagpunta ng SMEF-COW and it only took him few hours kasi konti ang tao at maaga sya nandun.

Di ako sure kung naexplain ko ba ng maayos pero if you have other questions message mo lang ako :)
