I just want to give tips/share my experience for those people planning to attend CFO/PDOS at CFO Cebu.
I arrived at CFO Ofc. at 5am. Although, my real plan to be there is 4:30am but I remembered the warning of the staff from CFO telling me that we don't recommend to go there at that early coz the area is quite critical. True enough coz the bldg. has no security guard outside, near the port & plaza independencia. Konti lng vehicles dumadaan & madilim ang area. When I arrived the place, i'm happy to see 2 people standing outside the cfo ofc. at least meron na akong kasama nawala kaba ko. I asked her which country is she planning to go and she said USA. Immediately, i got my notebook & pen and made an attendance sheet so there would be proof that we were the 1st two people arrived in the place. In the attendace sheet you will see the name, time of arrival & country of destination. So every people arriving there I told them to write their name in the attendance sheet so it will give them the assurance that they will get a slot. So when the guard opened the office we were told to get inside & fall in line for the distribution of priority nos. But before the guard gave it to us i went to him & gave the attendance sheet. At 1st he's hesitant to accept it coz he told me that they dont accept attendace sheet but i insisted & told him that this paper is the evidence who are those people came early & waited long hrs. until your ofc. will open. This is fair enough to all of us. So he accepted the paper & called our names accordingly & gave our priority numbers. So, my fellow participants in cfo seminar commend me of my initiative & courage to insist it to the guard to accept the paper coz they all agree with me so no complaints arise. After distribution of priority numbers, prepare your reqts. as the guard will do the initial checking of it. Reqts. are passport & 2 photocopies of it, 2 valid ids with your picture, orig. & photocopy of birth certificate, orig. & photocopy of visa & emigrant registration form (you can download & save this form in your computer from cfo website. You can also fill-out the form using your laptop dn print after kc ito yung ginawa ko.) next step is you will submit those reqts. to the cfo officer after calling your priority number & your name. They will give you the guidance & counseling form to fill you out then you will return it to them. After that picture taking, lunch break & be backed at 1pm. Before the film showing about human trafficking you will pay the 400 before you could proceed to the assigned room. Pls. check your OR if error free. After film viewing one cfo officer will enter the room & start discussing the course. After that is one on one interview. Dont forget to bring your pics together with your partner & children if any, photocopy of his passport, marriage contract/ divorce decree/ separation/ annulment as these were the common docs asked from you by your counselor. After interview your counselor will ask your passport to affix your cfo sticker together with your cfo certificate. Again, double check the details if everything is correct. Releasing of your passport. That ends your transaction wd CFO. For us we spent the whole day for the CFO activity. Hope this helps you guys.:)

If you're applying for visa 189 and kung de facto sana kayo ni gf pwede mo na siya include sa application mo. But since hindi kayo married eh maaaply mo siya ng visa once granted na yung sayo and later you decide to marry her (pwede kayo magapply ng PMV). Yun ang pagkakaalam ko ah
