It depends. Some embassies have implemented the new fee. Save for $350 so if it's that you've got enough money and if it's not you get a nice little bonus :). I would wait until she receives her letter though as the money is paid in the local currency and is not always dependant on the CURRENT exchange rate.

The visa fee is only $131 and should be paid at BDO before her interview schedule...

When we pay to the BDO for the embassy, we paid 6, 026 pesos if I am not mistaken.. By the way I had my interview last April 5, 2010 and I received the PINK SLIP which means that I passed??? hehehe

God bless and good luck to her interview... :)
