. . .Good Morning all. . .In May my Lady Friend & I wanted to go to Borneo for some SCUBA, so she did the CFO thing & got a certificage & CFO card. She was then allowed to travel with me to Borneo. ( She had spent a year in Palau working - where we met. Also have done a few trips to the PI to visit / SCUBA with Lady Friend after Palau & befor Borneo trip. ). Anyone know if she will have to do the CFO thing again for the K-1 Fiancee Visa. . .OR WHAT???. . .Waiting for the NOA2 as we filed June 25. . .Thanks in advance for the replies. . .

Lady Friend? K-1 ? I hope she is more than a friend... maybe your Fiancee... :lol:

As for CFO, she has the sticker in her passport? I don't know for fact but I would think you only need to attend that once, got the sticker ... good to go.

HOW DO U SCHEDULE FOR THE CFO? I HEARD THAT THERE IS ONE NEAR KATIPUNAN QC? WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING FOR THAT?

CFO is first come first served and has VERY limited seating.

CFO: ALL exiting required to attend. There have been changes regarding CFO so for sure read through their website.

http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1348:fiancee-spouses-and-other-partners-of-foreign-nationals&catid=140

Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: copies of; CENOMAR, certified birth certificate, bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together, from USC - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common. The "other documents" clause can be ANYTHING with those nit-wits at CFO.

** From the Family Code of the Philippines: it's 21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent.

Art. 14. In case either or both of the contracting parties, not having been emancipated by a previous marriage, are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, they shall, in addition to the requirements of the preceding articles, exhibit to the local civil registrar, the consent to their marriage of their father, mother, surviving parent or guardian, or persons having legal charge of them, in the order mentioned. Such consent shall be manifested in writing by the interested party, who personally appears before the proper local civil registrar, or in the form of an affidavit made in the presence of two witnesses and attested before any official authorized by law to administer oaths. The personal manifestation shall be recorded in both applications for marriage license, and the affidavit, if one is executed instead, shall be attached to said applications. (61a)

Art. 15. Any contracting party between the age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be obliged to ask their parents or guardian for advice upon the intended marriage. If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not be issued till after three months following the completion of the publication of the application therefor.A sworn statement by the contracting parties to the effect that such advice has been sought,together with the written advice given, if any, shall be attached to the application for marriage license. Should the parents or guardian refuse to give any advice, this fact shall be stated in the sworn statement.
