We just paid Visa Application Fee @BPI and they issued us a DS 157 validation. Is this the form we fill up together with DS156 or this is just some form of receipt to be presented during medical and interview and we have to fill out a separate DS 157?

From what i have learned from those who already had their interviews,you'll also fill that up and will submit it during your interview together with other DS forms :thumbs:

based on my experienced the ds 157 form validated from the bank serve as the receipt or proof of payment of the visa fee. i filled up another form as what they required... i also ask the teller of the bank about it and she told me that, i need to fill-up another form. when i have my interview everything is fine about the ds forms that i have submitted. i also bring some extra forms.

I filled up by hand the DS-157 form validated by the bank and filled up online two (2) DS-157 forms. So overall I had three(3) DS-157.

When I handed all of my DS forms, the guy returned to me one (1) of the DS-157 form I filled up online.

As long as you have all of the following forms during your interview your good to go!

Two (2) DS-156 forms

Two (2) DS-157 forms

One (1) DS-156K form
