Attending a pre-departure seminar is one of the requirements before leaving the country.

You can attend the seminar either before or after the visa interview.

If without visa you need:

*2 valid ID (either Birth Certificate, NBI, SSS Card, Driver's License, BIR/TIN ID, Company ID)

*Passport

With Visa:

*Passport

*Original and Photocopy of Visa

*Counseling Fee of PhP250

Just go to St. Mary's Euphrasia Foundation, Inc. -CFO beside the Katipunan LRT Station (North Exit)

and registration starts from 7am

I just finish my counseling and cfo this morning!

I arrived at 7am. I'm in no.4.... they started calling our name by 7:30... photocopy your passport and visa if any to avoid delay....

They gave me 2 sets of forms (2pages each.. back to back) Be sure you memorize or have a copy of tel.no, address, etc of your fiance(e)...

Important tip: once you finish your first form give it to the employee... (they will tell you which form will be the first to fill up) It became very helpful to me.... coz, after group counseling, they will call all the attender one by one... according to the time you pass the FIRST FORM!

i'm in no.2.... so lucky coz, only four of us got finish before lunch break! the rest will wait after one hour!!!!

I had my certificate and CFO sticker before lunch break! thank God....

go to St. Mary like Edward_Cherry said... you will be okay and it was very helpful.. you will learn a lot.... :thumbs:

God bless
