yay picked up visa and cfo sticker today

[oatmeal 8]

Congratulations!

Do you mind sharing your timeline? Like the interview date, issued date, and notification from 2go?

And she did CFO seminar before she received her visa? Wonder if my parents can do that too. How did she do it?

I, too, is waiting for my parents to receive their visas, hopefully early next week.

Thank you,

Jona

Hi Jona how long is your mom still waiting for the visa?

My wife's interview was on February 12 issued February 13 . got text from 2GO on feb 19 she did her CFO back in jan just had to pickup sticker yesterday

Thank you tedd k!

I was looking at the CFO website and I don't see anything about the option to do seminar and later get the sticker. My parents may be in tight on time so i'd like to do this while waiting for their visas to be available for pickup at MOA.

Can you give me more info about this? Like what docs to bring to do the seminar? And how to get the sticker? I've heard you can get it from the airport also, is that true?

Thanks again!

Hi Jona how long is your mom still waiting for the visa?

Visa status was "issued" since the 2/18 which is the same day as their Interview and we're still waiting...

I understand the convenience of doing it at the same time. But with them being tight on time and hearing that 2GO usually inform passport availability in the afternoon, I'm thinking it's easier to do it beforehand.

Thanks for the link, by the way, I'll be looking into that.

Thank you teddy k!

I will probably have my parents just bring all their documents and pay CFO a visit and go from there. They're just in Manila waiting for the Visa and their flight on Friday, so it isn't too bad.
