What type of visa are you applying for? Timeline is blank and no info in your profile so can't answer on the DS230

As for CFO:

CFO:

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

Update: Please check the schedule of the counseling session before proceeding to CFO because it is country-specific and the slots are limited only to 15

per session (two sessions per day) for Manila and 12 per session (only one session a day) for Cebu. It is on a first-come-first-serve basis.

CFO Online Registration Form: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/pdf/downloadable%20forms/registrationform.pdf Complete this and print a couple copies to bring to

the CFO seminar, it will save you time.

Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: copies of; CENOMAR (CEMAR and marriage certificate if married), certified birth certificate,

bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together. From USC (copies of) - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been

married before) are the most common requests. 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. (Some are posted on VJ that they were not

asked for this, yet others have been asked, so be prepared)

The immigrant data sheet will arrive with your visa, usually its attached to the "do not open" envelope, just make a copy of it and bring to CFO. If you attend CFO before the embassy interview then bring a copy when you go back to get the stamp in your passport.

The registation form is on the CFO website (I provided a link above) so you can complete and print a copy to bring to CFO.

The certificate you will get after attending the CFO seminar.
