Commission on filipino overseas (registered)

[-sillybilly-]

No CFO Certificate, No CFO Sticker...your are not getting your flight mate, no matter how many entry clearance you have.
Its now the law of the Philippine Immigration and we all have to deal with it.

Here are few the questions they will ask you...

When, where and how did you meet your fiance/husband:

If divorce you need to show them the copy..or atleast a copy from the british embassy of your local CNI.

You need to provide details of your fiance/husband like home address, work address, contact numbers. In case something happened thats why they wonna keep a record.

And if he has been in the Philippines. If yes then show some few photos of you together.

Thats all they will ask..no more other questions. They know its not their business to ask further than that. They know their limitations.

If you've already managed to produce all of things required to get a marriage licence at the local courthouse or wherever and actually get married, ie birth certificate, CNI, divorce decree etc, then why the hell do they need you to produce them as well.

Wrong, we have heard from many on this forum who said that they were asked questions such as what is your husband or fiance's mothers maiden name etc etc.

O well, Sorry! i just probably forgot to put it on my thread. YES INDEED. They will ask what is your husband's mother's maiden name...and further questions if they have a serious age gap. The reason why they asked is because english names have almost the same names ex: John Hayes. They can only identify whos who and which one's which with their mother's maiden name. You must understand that Philippines are really good in doing such fake documents and applications thats why they are just being tight and strict.

If applicants listened very well to the seminar then they would understand why there were being questioned and be able to explain to their husband properly so husbands wouldnt misunderstand what we have to go through before getting or applying for the visa. Why do we need to provide these details. Its not for them its for us. They just wonna protect and maybe can help you one day. You never know.

It doesnt really matter if they questions such and such. Then prove to the CFO you have a serious and genuine relationship with your fiance/husband.

There has been lots of complains ive heard but still these people went through it. Even myself kept moaning why do i have to do this....but if i dont then they wont let me change my passport's name.
Ive just done it first week of june so i guess nothing has changed with the policy. And all these are based from my experiences.

I think the thing that bugs most people about it is there seems to be no set framework for the interview part of the CFO seminar. This gives the impression that the women who work there make up the rules themselves about what they expect a wife or fiancee to know about their husband or fiance or what they are expected to know about their husband or fiance's family members and there also seems to be no absolute list of documents etc that the wife or fiancee may be asked to produce.

Thats why everybody must be prepared aswell as with the documents from every single details of fiance or husband.
So incase these people doubts a relationship...atleast you got it all with you and thell them..."here you are, anymore questions?"
