CFO Questions..?

[elve_page]

They don't make things easy for us Filipina lovers...!

You cannot book an appointment for the seminar and have to just show up early and hope you get a place.. Only 12 places per week..! This leaves me in the position of not being able to book my flight home until the seminar is complete and we have that sticker..

My wife is a bit worried about a discrepancy in her name. She thinks that she needs to change her name with the DFO before we fly.. I'm hoping this is not the case. We applied for the spousal visa in her old name so her passport and visa are in the old name. i told her to just do the seminar in her old name and book the flight in her old name.. Am i correct here ?

Is it easy to convert her surname once we are in the UK ? Do we have to send off for a new passport ?

She will fly into Cebu to take the seminar on Friday and we will meet in Manila on Saturday. Is this the final thing we need to get to be able to fly ? Once we have the CFO stamp we can just leave ? I don't wanna miss anything and get a shock !

Thanks Guys

Hi DanandClavs,
I think its better if your wife will fly to Cebu on Thursday because she need to list her name before the seminar will start and fill out forms. And they have limited spot on the seminar per day. Its only 1 day seminar, i suggest she will stay at MANGO PARK HOTEL where i stayed before the seminar its only 20 steps walk going to CFO Office.

Thanks Elve,

The Mango Park Hotel was the first place i stayed when i arrived in cebu. I really didn't like the place, was full of ants and cockroaches... yuk.... MCiti Suites in Fuente is much much better and just 1250php with breakfast. I have booked her flight already for Thurday ( Sorry for my rubbish wording ) and have booked her into Sambaguita suites http://sampaguitasuites.com/sampagui...-plaza-garcia/ which is apparently less than a minute away, also just 695php for a single.

Now she has no reason to be late...

I stayed in Sampaguita.. Nice accommodation
When she arrive at the place for the seminar, make sure she tells the guard she is there for a seminar
so she can write her name in the log-book to be in the priority list...

Being first on the one-on-one interview would give her plenty of time travelling to CFO Office getting the stamp.
