So yesterday.. I'm done getting my cfo certificate... So here's my tip

Come there early as you can... Don't worry if you come 2 am there's a barangay tanod who will get you and let you stay in their outpost..

1. Be sure you have your on line appointment for GCP ( on- line appointment for k visa and spouse ) if you don't... They will not accept you.. ( except for those who got flight the same day) http://gcp-appointment.cfo.gov.ph

2. Look for any special holiday in manila before you come ( CFO close during special holidays)

3. Have your documents with you specially the originals and photocopy

A. Two valid government I.D with pictures (photocopy them)

B. Passport bio page photocopy ( bring your passport too)

C. Copy of your visa

D. If you got visa already fill out this form http://www.cfo.gov.ph/pdf/downloadable%20forms/registrationform.pdf

( don't bring the whole packet from the embassy and if you bring it.. YOU KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

E. NSO certified birth certificate ( original and photocopy)

F. Certificate of no marriage

G. Birth certificate of your fiancé

H. Copy of his passport bio page

I. Intent to marry ( original and photocopy with sign)

J. G-325a ( photocopy ) for you and your fiancee

K. Pictures together

L. ITR's including form 1040, W2 or tax transcript ( be sure you blackened the SSN)

M. And 400 pesos

You can bring crackers and water too cos seminar is a little bit long.

If you have kids... Don't bring them... You don't want to pollute your child's mind

Does my fiance in the Philippines need a copy of my passport?

Yes. Candy needed mine. CFO is hell on documents and wants every one of the ones that they want with no excuses. This is one of them.

If they want taxes transcript, You can easily fake those all day long, No way in hell would I turn over my real taxes to a desk jockey working for CFO.

And I suggest others to give alias on personal data such as taxes.

Why do they want the ITR's

Do they look at it?

CFO does not want a ITR from everyone, just those that have never been married so don't have a divorce decree or death certificate.

They are looking at the tax return for filing as a single person as evidence of not being married. Ya I know....... 2029.gif

If you have to supply them with ITR, for your security cross out the SSN. They don't need it.

Help me.. I don't understand. How you get notify your dashboard? what is this c4c? Your input is very helpful to me. Thank you.

You watch the left side of the dashboard, when an appointment date becomes available it will appear there, then you click on continue in the blue bar menu on the left (doesn't show in this photo but it is there on your dashboard). As for C4C or others I don't know anything about them, hopefully someone who has used one of those can assist you.
