My fiancé arrived in Cebu last Tuesday from Sweden. She wanted to book a schedule for the CFO seminar for next week, but it's been fully booked. The soonest availability date is Dec. 21 as they can only take 12 people at a time.

Now here lies the problem, we have booked her flight for the US on Dec. 15.

Can she skip the CFO seminar?

Her fiancé visa was issued in Stockholm, Sweden last November. She was only in Cebu for a vacation for 10 days.

CFO cannot be skipped.

She will not be allowed to depart the Philippines without it.

If she isn't flying directly from the Philippines to the US then she may be able to skip it.

If she is flying anywhere on her visa to USA she cannot leave the Philippines without having completed CFO Period.

They have a new CFO office at Clark so their schedule should accommodate her. Fly her there.

Now here lies the problem, we have booked her flight for the US on Dec. 15.

Can she skip the CFO seminar?

Her fiancé visa was issued in Stockholm, Sweden last November. She was only in Cebu for a vacation for 10 days.

Now that she has entered the Philippines with a visa in her passport she is NOT leaving without completing CFO and get the sticker in her passport.

If CEBU is full maybe check for openings in Manila.

Info on the CFO process here: http://visaconnection-philippines.com/index.php/2-visa-process/5-cfo-gcp-seminar

Later, once she had her green card it would not have been an issue.

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!

CFO is one more way to get money from you Fiance.

She has entered the PHilippines now she will have to do it. Enjoy that and the travel tax fee.
