CFO:


ALL exiting required to attend.


There have been changes regarding CFO so for sure read through their website.






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


When you get to the 3rd floor, You'd be asked to fill up an Information Sheet. (Yes, you have to fill it up there, It's not the downloadable one on the CFO website.) Make sure you answer ALL questions/fields. Rendering this incomplete will be one of their criterias for you to be "HELD/ON HOLD" for one on one counseling.



Information Needed on the Form:

- Basic Information about you, the fiance(e)/spouse (Name, Address, Birthday, etc.; Your Birthplace is important too, specify which city/town/area/province)


- Basic Information about your petitioner (Sometimes you are going to be asked for the Birth Certificate copy)


- FULL MAIDEN NAME of fiance(e)/spouse's MOTHER


- Contact person in the Philippines, specifically immediate family as in Father, Mother, Siblings.


- Landline Number of Petitioner. (I know, I know, most of you guys don't use landlines now. That's what was running through my mind too.) If no landline is available, Landline of Petitioner's Nearest Relative or Petitioner's Neighbor.


- Petitioner's Educational Attainment, Degree/Course, Occupation


- Information on Petitioner's Divorce/Annulment/Death of previous wife or husband. You must have a copy of the Divorce Decree/Death Certificate.


- ZIPCODES. Both the petitioner and the beneficiary. Never forget to write those down.




** 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) Bring the ID of the parents, plus copies, postal ID should be adequate.


Examples (from Quezon City):








Children above 12 years of age attend PDOS.

The CFO and USCIS ask for original CENOMAR. So do we need 2 originals from NSO? And I assume this would also include NBI clearance?

One original of the CENOMAR is fine, but have copies because they will want to keep a copy but also want to see that the copy was made from the original.
