Jet did attend the seminar even before she delivered the documentation to Manila for visa processing.
I remember clearly that they messed all the paperwork up, and I had to show Jet, while chatting, how to put it back in order.
Then all she had to do was to collect the sticker on receipt of the Visa,... and Robert is your uncle....
So they didn't actually issue the CFO sticker until after the visa was granted? If so you would expect the people at the CFO just to say come back after you get your visa now rather than ask for proof of no impediment.
