The one who got there first was from Davao and then few mins ago ako naman ang nag abot..

I'm staying at Mandarin plaza hotel, 15-20mins drive,don't know if there is a hotel nearby, I'm still here in Cebu.. :)..

Things I brought with me during the seminar:

Some copy of original I129f

Chat logs

Beneficiary's & petitioner's birth cert

Beneficiary's & petitioner's passport bio page photocopy

My original passport

NBI original & photocopy

CENOMAR original & photocopy

Copy of noa1&2

Copy of tax return 2012/VA/OWCP

Cedula/baranggay clearance/baptismal

Postal Id & photocopy

Previous wife's death cert

Notarized Parental consent

Bday Card

I was asked to give my passport original, NBI, my birth cert original ,my fiancé's BC, postal id copy, then the lady guard gave me a priority number. Number 52, coz I was second in line, 51 for the person who came first. Then the lady guard handed me d docs I gave her..Waiting for my number to be called,number called and paid 400 and picture taking for certificate. The lady (she was also the one who interviewed me on one on one interview) gave me a form to fill up in room number 2 after that she instructed me to give the form back to her after filling it up..she wrote number 2 on the upper right corner of the form. After I filled it up I returned my form to them then waited for 3 hours, (falling asleep while waiting)..finally number 2 called, it's me, forgot to answer some questions on the form so she asked me the questions I answered her and she wrote it down, then said I'll be back at 1pm .

Film showing, actual seminar less than 2 hours.. Then one on one interview (20mins for me). Lady instructed me to wait at the counter and get my cert. I finished at 4:50pm..

Yes you don't need passport to attend the seminar, I just remembered.. :) the one who got there first didn't have a passport , she is married to an American citizen so she need a certificate from CFO to get a passport.. You are on the same boat.. :)

Krispykreme: For attendance and seminar no need for the passport, only when you register and get the sticker that will be affixed on your passport when you have the visa...
