Manila Embassy K1

[Froggie 0]

My fiancee just recieved her packet 4. The packet still reads to make sure the bank validates the DS156 form. Now I read somewhere in the forums that it was suppose to be on the DS157. I know we will keep the receipt and all but which is correct?

Do we follow the packet the embassy sent which states validate the DS 156?

Do we just show the bank a copy of the appointment letter from the embassy so they know what the payment is for?

Thanks for you assistance.

PS: I want to thank all for all the postings. I read everytime I can and gather so much information here. This by far is a great website.

Good luck to all and I will update our timeline. Thanks again!

When you go to the bank just tell them you're going to pay for the US visa. The teller will give you a new copy of DS-157 with validation at the back and a receipt. You don't have to show anything to them just tell them you're paying for the US visa and give them the payment. Again it's not on the DS-156 but the DS-157.

my fiancee just went through what you are woundering on the validation.Tell them it is for a K-1 visa and the bank will validate it on ds157.She woundered if this was the correct form herself.She callled the Embassy in Manila and they said it was okay as long as the form is validated.Good luck !

Thxs guys!

Being military trained like a monkey for many years, i follow what is provided and written to the tee. Common sense is why we have this great website and all the great people who communicate their experiences and issues.

Thanks again and God Bless all!

Froggie:

The DS-157, Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Applicatioin, is the form that is validated by the bank. You would think that this would not happen or would have been corrected by now. The US Embassy ERRONEOUSLY sites the DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Applicatioin, as the form that is validated by the bank in Packet 4. I acknowledge this error in our Phil-Am K1 Visa Information (located below in the signature block).

You have now motivated me to contact the USE in hopes of getting them to correct this oversight that creates more confusion within this wrecked process.

Cheers!!!

the government correct one of their oversights? I guess miracles can happen, if your sucessful Sheriff, your jurisdiction should be expanded beyond VJ.
