Hi, for your marriage certificate issue, I think It's not fair that you had to pay Php3,800 for the MC to be processed sooner. You should have used the NSO's Advance Endorsement service. I did that last November last year, I only paid Php160 for processing fee, Php80 for courier fee and Php140 pesos for each copy then I received my copies after 2 weeks. I wrote a thread about this before. I know It's too late now though

I don't think you will need CFO sticker to go to Austria for 3 months. It is clearly stated on the CFO website that you are required to attend the seminar and get the sticker if you are going to settle abroad as fiancée or spouse of foreign nationals. I went on a tourist visa for 5 months to UK before and I didn't have to get that. But you will need the CFO seminar certificate to change your status on your passport. Goodluck!
