Hello,

Does the CFO require originals of the CENOMAR and NBI Clearance? Or are photocopies okay?

My fiancee only has one original of each of these documents and I assume she will need to leave them at the embassy when she is interviewed (next week). Or, am I wrong on this?

Thanks a lot!

Joe

Yes US Manila will ask original copies of NSO birth cert, Cenomar and the NBI clearance before interview with the US Consul...what are needed at the CFO Seminar are 2 id cards with photos, passport is considered as one of the I'd ...I suggest though that ur fiancée should get another copy of Cenomar and the NBI clearance just in case CFO will ask.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

Yes, thank you, I realize that she needs originals for the embassy. Those are clear requirements. My fiancee has one each original for each document. But, if the embassy keeps them, my fiancee won't have originals for the CFO seminar.

So my question is two-fold: Does the US Embassy keep the original CENOMAR and NBI Clearance and Birth Certificate? Or, do they return them to you.

And are originals of the CENOMAR and NBI Clearance required for the CFO seminar? Their requirements are not clear on this matter.

I hope my questions are clear. It is late and my brain doesn't always work right when tired.

I was under the impression that they may ask for anything, but may not ask for anything. That is the CFO I guess.

So I guess "needed" is the key word. Maybe someone with more experience can respond.

Thanks!

I just don't want to lose track of my original question which I still do not have an answer to:

Does the CFO require originals of the CENOMAR and NBI Clearance? Or are photocopies okay?

Anyone have first hand experience at the CFO that required originals? Or someone took photocopies and were asked to see them, and the photocopies were accepted?

US Embassy Manila does not return any required documents at all...they will keep the original NSO birth cert, Cenomar and the NBI clearance.

CFO for K1/IR/CR is kinda tricky. If you don't want additional stress, just get a fresh batch of docs. CENOMAR is easy to acquire, the NBI depends if she gets a name hit or not.

Yes CFO is fine with copies. The embassy will take the originals of those.
