Did you make sure that you included a pre paid courier return envelope? If you didnt then Im afraid to tell you that you are in big trouble.

If you have provided a return envelope then just wait patiently, keep checking on the courier website you have used or ring them (phone number should be on your receipt) for inquiry.

You cant attend the CFO counselling, get your CERTIFICATE but you cannot get a CFO sticker without a VALID VISA.

Hope I cleared little things on you..

do you think i can have GC certificate without my passport tommorow ???then if i have my passport on saturday or monday i can go to CFO manila to get CFo sticker without a problem ???

[febmary]

I think you should have your passport with you because they will look for it at the seminar and they will put a sticker on it..as far as I can remember..unless you have to beg them and reconsider that you haven't received your passport. That's how I thought.

[rhaichard]

i called SMEF COW this morning ... i asked them if can i attend seminar without my passport yet .. they said yes .. but bring my NBI and birth certificate ... but i think they misunderstand my situation ..

anyway i still try to go tomorrow atleast i can ask them personally


finger crossed ..

only the important thing is i want to get GC certificate in SMEF COW because ,they do the seminar monday to friday any country ... but their office will end tomorrow also CFO said that ... so my plan is get the GC certificate in SMEF COW and once my passport back i can go to CFO Manila to get CFO sticker

[melovesengland]

Yes, I think you can go and attend the seminar without your passport. You can then get your sticker when you already have a valid visa.

[rhaichard]

thats a relieved thanks ..
