FAQ

Common questions.

Where exactly do you meet in Makati?
Makati Palace Hotel, LG 10-11, Burgos Street, Makati City. Message Monte on WhatsApp to confirm the exact meeting point when you book.
Do I need to bring my C-File to the in-person meeting?
If you have it, bring it — printed or on a laptop/drive. If you haven't requested your C-File yet, come anyway. Monte can review your DD214 and denial letters for a free Tier 1 session and advise on the fastest way to request your C-File.
What's the fee for an in-person session?
Tier 1 (DD214 review and initial strategy overview) is free. Tiers 2 and 3 are flat fees — no percentage of your benefits, ever. Message Monte for current rates.
Can you help with my US expat taxes too?
Yes. Most VA clients in the Philippines also need help with FEIE, FBAR, and foreign income questions. Monte offers FTARU alongside his VA work. Just mention it when you book.
I'm not in Metro Manila — can I still work with you?
Absolutely. Remote sessions via WhatsApp or video call are available worldwide. The full FNVI C-File analysis is done remotely — you upload via Proton Drive, Monte reviews personally, and delivers a written report.
