Claudeth went on a Monday and flew out on a Tuesday. It was a long day for her, at least the way CFO was done back then, but she got it all completed

Had my CFO certificate in 5 hours! As i don't have the visa yet, I was asked to go back as soon as I have it so they can stamp the CFO sticker on my passport. Since your fiance has her passport already, it will be a one day event and she will be done. They usually prioritize those with visa as they understand a flight has already been booked in most cases. I would suggest that she be there at the 8:30 schedule. We attended the 8:30 batch and we were done at 3:30! Didn't have lunch till that time...so have a full stomach before going there...hope it helps

Weather to attend on PRISM or SMEF-COW..... i advice to take it on SMEF-COW because the place for the counseling and getting the stamp is in the same site. Compare to attending at PRISM you attend the couseling then get the stamp in CFO. (2 different location).
