You don't need an appointment. Make a copy of the required documents. Congratulations! Are U headed to the USA? Minnesota? |

Shirr and I just went to St Marys and I waited outside till she was done.
Had some lunch and then went back and got the sticker. Arrived there at about 6:30AM and was finished by about 3:00PM Was much less stressful than going to the other site there in Manila... -Phil QUOTE (mrsean @ Nov 3 2009, 08:24 AM) do i need to call and scedule an appointment or just go early i am going to prism not the cfo building i will go to cfo building after i get visa for stamp i need to know if i just go there early and does prism have an email address thanx --------------------   |

@heis: it really depends.. attended last week at PRISM we got in 9:30am filled up some forms and finished up past 1pm.. prior the seminar there was the BDO people convincing to open an account blah blah blah
 maybe at st. mary's they don't do that thing,lol!! Don't forget to bring some important doc's, just in case they'll ask it from you (like some were asked photographs together with your partner).

Agreed. St. Marys is better and easier to deal with than PRISM. Do some research on this topic in the Philippines forums....... --------------------  "He always start the fire here in VJ thread and I believe all people will agree with me about it" |

They wouldn't let me attend seminar with my fiance, I walked down the street and took a right and found a Shakey's Pizza (Hadn't seen one in the USA since the 70's). I found a birthday party going on, I ordered myself a Pizza and a 5 pitchers of Beers for the group, and proceeded to join the party. Cruised back to St. Marys about 3 hours later, and my Fiance was just finishing up her Seminar. -------------------- "He always start the fire here in VJ thread and I believe all people will agree with me about it" |
