Yeah cheers guys, having dug abit in this forum and went on the official cfo website lastnight. I phoned my wife last night or 4 am her time in Philippines shouting all sorts down the blower. So now she is going to get her cfo first thing in the morning after franctically photocopying stuff today. Cheers once again

I have just been with my Wife to do her councilling course at SMEF COW on Jan 29. Its a bit confusing because the website says the address is in Taft Avenue at the Equitable PCI Bank. As it happens BDO have taken over Equitable PCI so all of their banks are now BDO. If you go to the BDO directly opposite the football field of De La Salle University you cant miss it, 3rd floor. They even open a BDO OFW bank account for you now as part of the course!

I think you went to PRISM, Jenky, if it's located at Taft Ave. SMEF-COW is in Aurora Blvd, QC.

am not yet applying spouse visa need to sort out some requirements but i want to renew my passort ealier could it be possible if i renew it or attend first the CFO seminar?

Ross, if you are a spouse of a foreigner, you need to attend the CFO counseling before you can renew or amend your passport. They will give you a CFO counseling certificate which you will show to the DFA. And after applying for the visa and it's approved, go back to CFO for the sticker.

Hi AJS In other CFO center, they ask for a photo of you with your other half but I went to SMEF-COW in Aurora Blvd and all they asked from me were my ID (my driver's license), Birth Certificate and Marriage Contract (both from NSO) and my passport and photocopies of each. I was late too, i arrived about 8:20 and the film viewing started already. The lady in the reception, told me to go straight to the film viewing room and just complete the form after the film viewing. She did the photocopying for me too.

For more info, check this out: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/cfosmefcow_guidelines.pdf
You better call them before you go.
