Lordalyn passed her interview friday :):):) We are now preparing for getting her CFO after her via arrives,but we are a little confused. First off she will be going to Manila.I think she has to go to PRISM ? And then to a second place after that to get the "stamp" ? Doese she need an appointment for either or both if there are two places > If she goes to PRISM at 3:30 will she have tine to make it to the second place ?(if there is a second place)I saw that she will need 2 photo ID; she only has a passport;what other form of ID can she use ?

Maybe I missed somewhere on this site a step by step guide for this;sorry for so many questions.We are so excited at being so close now to that big day.

Congratz on passing the interview! :star:

Lordalyn can go to the CFO seminar either at PRISM or at St. Marys. Once she has completed the seminar, she can go to the CFO main office to get her sticker.

She does not need an appointment for the seminar nor the CFO main office.

If she attends the 3:30 pm seminar, I'm not sure whether she can make it in time to the CFO main office to get her sticker. I don't know what time the CFO main office closes.

Congratulations!

My wife (fiancee back then) attended the CFO seminar at St. Mary's in Quezon City. We didn't have to make an appointment and after the seminar, she got her sticker and certificate from the office that's in the same complex.

Either the two offices she can go but I would suggest that she will call for an appointment because they have a limit for the day and it is advisable to go in the morning.As far as I know,it is whole day seminar.Don't forget to bring your passport,visa,packet if you have it, BC of your fiancee and yours too. Bottom line is,bring all documents which are importants. Good luck.

She does NOT have to call for an appt. My girl went 5 min before the last CFO class of the afternoon at PRISM and was allowed in just fine.

ps, PRISM in Manila seems to be less strict from what word on the street (and me) is saying. Just have your paperwork all lined up. Good luck!

Cebu CFO offices seem to be more strict.

also if she goes to PRISM it is only like 2 hours...Mhay went to PRISM after her interview in the morning. I would suggest to go a little earlier to be sure it is only a one day thing and not 2 because the CFO office possiblyu closing earlier than the seminar will be done.

If you go to PRISM on Taft Avenue...Pack a lunch and bring your own Red Horse because all the venders where you get the sticker sell NO beer and it is a longgggggg wait!

St Marys gives the seminar and also the sticker...no need to rush to another over crowded place to get the sticker as you have to by going to Taft Ave.
