Visa Fee Pmt at BDO

[Road 2 Peace Arch 0]

Hello,

What is the latest method to pay BDO for the Visa Fee? Apparently, it used to be a blank DS-157 form was used for the reciept. However, now I understand they are just providing a reciept and not a stamped copy of a blank DS-157. Is that true?

Anyone have a working link (locations that accept the fee outside of Manila) of where you can pay this fee if you're outside Manila in the province?

Also, I understand this fee goes up to $350 on March 1st. Is that true?

Thanks!

hello good day

On July 1, 2009, Citi and BDO began using new payment slips for nonimmigrant machine-readable visa (MRV) application fee payments.

Upon payment of the $131 MRV application fee, the bank will issue a new “US Embassy copy” of the bills payment slip which will be stapled to a blank DS-157 form. The BDO bills payment slip will have three copies. The copy on blue paper is the “US Embassy copy.” On the day of the interview, the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit will accept only the “US Embassy copy” as proof of payment of the $131 MRV application fee. If the slip stapled on the DS-157 form gets lost, the applicant will need to pay a new MRV fee.

All MRV fee payments made between May 25, 2009 and June 30, 2009 with the old bills payment slip will still be accepted. All MRV fee payments made before May 25, 2009 with a proof of payment validation at the back of the DS-157 form, which fall within the one-year fee validity, will also be accepted.

Thanks but I think this may have changed again although there is no official notice on the Embassy link you provided. However, if you've paid this fee paid since the first of the year, then perhaps I'm wrong.
