Davies, Hi, great to hear from you buddy, take Robs advice and let your fiancee book her ticket in Phils, as Rob is right, she might not be able to get on, without proof of payment, your fiancee will not be allowed to get through immigration at NAIA without

1. Filipino Passport and UK Entry Clearance stamp.
2. Commission on Filipinos Overseas Emigrant Number
3. Certificate of Counselling for United Kingdom.
Secondly, if you need your fiancee to attend for counselling on the United Kingdom, she needs to book a place at registration for the:

Good Shepherd Covent
1080 Aurora Boulevard,
Quezon City,

Nearest LTR Station : Areneta-Cubao, go down to steps to pavement, walk up to intersection, with Aurora Boulevard, take a jeepney going to the right, the Good Shepherd Convent is on the left hand side.

Registration for the UK Seminar is at 10.00am, dont be late, be early, as places are limited, and its limited to 15 persons per session, you will need the following.
P250.00 for the registratiion.
Filipino Passport with Entry Clearance Visa
2 Passport size photos
Evidence of Relationship to include Photos.

The seminar lasts for 1 hour 30 minutes, and then it is followed by a interview, then they will give you an emigrant number, and a counselling certificate.

Counselling sessions are Tuesdays and Thursdays for the United Kingdom.

You can collect your guidance and counselling certificate straight away, then you must go to the DFA with your counselling certificate and so that they will give you the DFA CFO emigrant stamp.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck Davies

Davies,

That advice is incorrect you should beware of proffessional Applicants as we call them, their advices are generally incorrect, or you can be Mis-advised, but I suggest you call the CFO in Cebu or Manila direct, to obtain the correct information for your fiancee, I still beleive your fiancee will not be allowed to travel without a CFO emigrant sticker in her passport, and she cannot get that, without a Guidance and Counselling Certificate, and you cannot get that, withgout going to the Counselling Session, We also come from Bacolod, suggest she goes to Cebu, it seems they are better and less strict, and more freindlier than those at Manila, your fiancee can travel to Cebu if she wants to attend there for the CFO Counselling, the details are as follows:

The St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation-Center for Overseas Workers (SMEF-COW) conducts the guidance and counseling program to Filipino spouses and other partners of foreign nationals at their premises in Metro Manila and Cebu City. The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) issues the guidance and counseling certificate to clients who have satisfactorily completed the guidance and counseling requirements at SMEF-COW.
CFO-Cebu Office

Contact details are as follows:

SMEF-COW Cebu
Tel. No.: (032) 254-1631,
(032) 253-4194

Requirements at Cebu.

Two (2) valid identification cards (IDs) with photograph;
Duly completed guidance and counseling form;
If married, certified true copy and photocopy of marriage contract on security paper from the National Statistics Office (NSO), or Local Civil Registry Offices (LCRO); or original and photocopy of marriage contract duly authenticated by the Philippine Embassy/Consulate (if married abroad)
Other documents as may be required by the counselors; and
Payment of P250.00 counseling fee.


Note: Only 10 counselees in Cebu are accomodated per session, on a first-come, first-served basis

Schedule of Guidance and Counseling Sessions in Cebu City

Destination Country Day Time
United States of America and Canada Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Japan Mondays and Wednesdays 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Australia and New Zealand Wednesdays and Fridays 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Other Countries Mondays 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Fridays 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm


I hope this helps, Dont try and skip your own countries rules, you would be well advised to listen to the advice, your fiancee does not want to be showing up at either Cebu or NAIA without the documents required, as their is a notice board at Immigration in Manila, specifically asking for all this before a Filipino leaves the country, you will not get past immigration officers without it,

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!



Best of luck.
