Im a little confused about the delbros fee at metro bank. Does my fiance have to bring a DS 156 and DS 157 with her to the bank? Or does she just make a deposit and text them? Sorry for the dumb questions, Ive been working a lot and wasnt expecting to get my interview this fast. I thought it would take 2 or 3 months from my NO2 and im not as prepared as I should be.

I read that one. It makes no mention of it on the instructions, however, ive heard people hear talk about getting the 157 stamped at the bank. They said it was a new one that was blank and then they stapled the old one to it. So im trying to figure out if I need to bring a filled out Ds 157 or not. My fiance is having trouble with her printer right now, otherwise I would just have her bring it. Im thinking I dont need to bring it but am unsure just because of what I read in another post somewhere.

oh are you talking about the visa fee in BPI (bank of the phil island)???... i think thats the visa fee you're talking about and not the doc verification fee. in bpi for the visa fee thats where you bring your ds-157 i believe :thumbs: and true the bpi has their own copy of the ds-form and that they will stamp something on the back for the form and also will staple or give you the receipt which you should keep it for safety...

(my experience. not sure if things have change lately) good luck!!!

The Delbros Delivery fee is paid after the interview at the USEM. The Visa fee $131 (converted to PHP) is paid at the BPI Bank. The document verification fee is paid at Metro bank if you decide to pay ahead of the interview. You text DELBROS after making the payment.

Please read Sheriff Ulings K1 visa guide at the top of the Philippine thread.

ok I guess I didnt realize there are 2 times she needs to go to bank, so then at the Metro bank she wont need any forms, just the money and the info for depositing, then later she goes to BPI. That clears it up.

Make sure she keeps the payment slip (it's pink, if my memory serves me right) that BPI will give her along with her bank generated DS-157 form... :thumbs:

DONT BE CONFUSED. DELBROS IS PAID (GO TO MANILA EMBASSY WEBSITE AND FIND THE DIRECTIONS THEY ARE GREAT) AND THEN THERE IS A TEXT CONFIRMATION PROCESS THAT YOU MUST FOLLOW. AGAIN, INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND IN EMBASSY OR AT DELBROS WEB SITE. PAY DELBROS BEFORE YOU GO TO THE INTERVIEW, IT WILL SPEED THINGS UP FOR YOU.
