BDO payment verification

[Matt & Jovy 0]

I paid the visa application form in BDO (Filinvest-Alabang branch) today. The lady in the bank told me that it was their first time to have a client bringing completed DS-157 form and she insisted to provide me a blank form because they cannot guarantee me that the USEM will accept my form. I still asked her to just do machine validation on the DS-157 form that the attorney provided us. She validated the form I brought but she just asked me to sign a paper stating that I cannot refund my payment if the USEM refuse my DS-157 form.

Does anyone ever tried bringing completed DS-157 form in BDO for verification? Is it acceptable in the USEM?

I think it is just similar forms (downloaded online/form provided by BDO) and my fiance told me that it is better that I have my computer typed form validated rather then getting the blank form from BDO and filling-out the form by hand-writing because mine is more readable.

Thanks for the fast reply. I was just a little worried lang because I don't want any delay during the interview if ever the USEM will not accept the form. My fiance will be here for my interview this September 22 ( he will stay for only a week) and I just want to be sure that we will be able to finish it on the scheduled date. Thanks a lot!

i have a copy of a blank DS157 which i downloaded from the website plus another one from BDO when I paid for visa application bcoz USEM needs 2 copies, the one from BDO has machine validation at the back , the one that I downloaded donot , both submitted to USEM.

good luck on your interview.

I had Meryll attach the blank payment validation DS-157 form to one of the two I had filled out on the computer. Many other VJers have done this before me.

Just because the majority fill out the blank payment validation DS-157 form by hand does not mean it is the only way or even the proper way.

Elena had our copy validated and flew right threw USEM with no problems and now she is sitting in the other room here.
