thank God i'm done with everything... im done with my seminar at st. mary's yesterday and i got my certificate and sticker from the CFO...

So.... how was the CFO? Did they ask you dumb questions like your fiance's underwear size? Or was it just a time deal and you sit and listen to the Nuns tell you horror stories about spousal abuse and such? :blink:

Ohhhh and CONGRATS!!! :dance:

Awesome, congratulations.

Did you do it pre-visa issuance or post-visa issuance?

I've heard there's quite a lot of discrepancy between documents required if you do it pre-visa.

Yes, and I agree. It seems post-visa, CFO is a breeze, and easiest in MNL, stricter with the nuns in Cebu.

That seems to be the case from all I been reading so far..... Seems if you don't have the Visa yet, those Nuns think they still have chance to talk you out of leaving or create more problems with you finding papers and such, like those in CFO Cebu asking some people for Certificate of singleness for the USC on a K1 :wacko:
