[rickgypsum 1]

Hi everyone. I was reading the requirements for my fiancée’s attending the CFO counseling session. Here is the link.

It says she needs her visa to attend, but our thought was while she is in Manila to do her medical exam she could also do the CFO counseling, while she was there. Can she or will she have to wait until her visa is issued? Anyone know? Thanks

She can attend the seminar while she is in the city but she can't get the sticker that she needs in order to leave the country. I always recommend people to attend the CFO when they have the visa in hand, so that they don't have to go back for the sticker. It saves time, money, and effort. It's up to you, guys. You can attend the CFO seminar before you get the visa, yes, but you still have to go back when you get your visa to get the sticker (They won't give your sticker without the visa in hand). Your choice.

be sure to make a copy of the passport bio page before the medical. You need that for the CFO seminar to prove you have a passport. My wife did her CFO seminar right after her interview...like within an hour or 2 after. (so she didnt have her visa or passport for the seminar....but had all the stuff with her from the embassy interview just in case they asked for something stupid) Of course she had to make another trip to Manila to get the sticker, but she wanted to make each trip count when she went to manila.

...and be sure to avoid PRISM.
