Hi guys, it's me again.

I have my visa and next step will be the GCP (Guidance and Counseling Program) of CFO. I intend to travel the next day after my appointment in CFO.

How long does it take for the counseling program? Is one day enough to process everything?

Thanks guys :) I have an appointment on the 20th of this month :)

From what I remember, the CFO Seminar my wife attended was 1 day BUT on a first come first served basis so you need to be there VERY early to make sure you get in. I think it is possible to get the CFO sticker and cert in a day (well it used to be possible). Perhaps others on here can give you details of the situation now as my wife did it 5 years ago now so things may have changed.

You have your appointment on the 20th and so should be fine to attend the seminar and receive your 'passport sticker' all at the same time.

I take it you already have a flight ticket for 21st?

Given all the factors that can cause delay it would probably have been safer to allow a couple of days extra in the plan especially for such a key requirement.

CFO does have a desk at the airport for emergency issue of the sticker on the day of depature but you need to book a slot with them so they can be sure to be at the desk. Worth considering if you face any issues
