CFO Pre Departure Oruentation

[southcalhog 43]

Don't forget to fill this registration form before attending CFO. It is a time saver http://www.cfo.gov.p...trationform.pdf

You right Mr.Smiley!!

She does not need the PDOS, she needs the Guidance & Counseling Seminar. There is a difference and make sure she tells them the right one.

WHICH ONE IS WHICH.. I PLAN TO TAKE CFO IN KATIPUNAN, QC BECAUSE ITS NEAR MY PLACE .. IS IT STILL OPEN?

The entire situation is a little confusing due to changes in CFO process. Mikey and Lizzie I think you should call CFO to find out from them directly - that way you are sure where to go. My fiance wasted days going to the wrong place and also not going early enough to get 1 of the 12 spots available each day.

OK BUT DO THEY ONLY ACCEPT A FEW SLOTS A DAY?

SMEF-COW in Katipunan already close. You go to the MAIN CFO OFFICE which is in Quirino Ave.

As Filipinos going abroad as fiancé(e)s, spouses or other partners of foreign nationals, you are required to attend the CFO's guidance and counseling session in order to secure the Guidance and Counseling Certificate (GCC) and the CFO sticker. It is a four hour session. All other immigrants 13-19 years old attend Peer Counseling (2 and a hlaf-3 hours). Older immigrant adults attend Pre-Departure Orientation (2 Hours). The only CFO offices doing them now are CFO Cebu and CFO Citigold Center, 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway )Manila, Philippines 1007 Tel. No.: (02) 552-4700

Thanks for the guidance.

What documents are needed to attend the seminar?

[KyleAndrea 1]

Should I still attend the seminar even though I'm not leaving from Manila by the time the visa is issued? I'm just afrai I might have problems renewing/amending my passport in the future if I don't have the certificate.

Any advice or suggestions? They don't really respond to emails.

If your not leaving from Manila I don't think this is an issue. but you need to attend as soon as you get back in Manila.

How early do you have to be at the CFO if you want to ensure that you get into the limited slots?
