Cfo
Hi everyone, just chatted to my gf Riechelle after her English test for our fiancé visa.
Two questions:
1. Some of the other girls mentioned a CFO and said we will need this. But I have no idea what a CFO is. Any help someone?
2. The examiner said to all the people taking the test that even if you pass, the Embassy might - or might not - accept their exam result.
Why would she say that?
Any help is most welcome, thank you

Mac:-
1. CFO is the localised abbreviation for 'Commission For Filipinos Overseas' - set up [purportedly] to protect the interests of those settling abroad - e.g., either to work or through marriage. It entails going to a morning's guidance counselling seminar ... at the conclusion of which, a Certificate of Attendance is issued. It is also a compulsory requirement of the Philippines' Government in accordance with its laws, and a person cannot travel to his/her new destination without it.
2. Stupid woman! (the English Test Examiner, I mean!)
Quite honestly ... there's NO earthly reason why the Embassy would refuse an Application for Settlement ... providing the applicant fulfils the necessary prerequisites, including - most importantly - through demonstrating an acceptable standard of competence in the English Language and proof that the sponsor earns a gross annual income of £18,600 or above.
I trust the foregoing explanation will help to set your mind at ease.

That's fantastic help, I know this sounds stupid but I've been through this before with my first Pinay wife but it was either different back in 2004 or it was such a bad experience my mind has blanked it all out. Thanks for your help
