Online Payment for Affidavit of Support Fee

[jessphil 0]

to all my friends from Philippines who gone on the process of paying there Affidavit of Support Fee via Online payment.

I have a question on paying my Affidavit of Support Fee,

I'm from the Philippines and I need to pay my 400$ for Affidavit of Support free via online payment.

do we pay or can I pay my Affidavit of Support fee via my dollar checking saving account using BPI Philippines bank or PNB Philippines bank.

I don't know if it is ok to pay via dollar checking saving account on Philippine bank or do I need to pay it via United States Bank Account to pay the AOS fee on online payment.

Thank you in advance to you all.

What fee are you referring to and what type of Visa are you applying for? Also are you the petitioner or the beneficiary? We would need more information about your case as for example the petitioner would be the one to file support docs and not the beneficiary?

I'm the beneficiary from Manila and my Mom who resides in US is the petitioner.

jessphil,

To answer your question. If you pay on-line, it must be from a US bank account.

Below is some more info., it includes making a payment on-line -AND- an alternate method of payment if you can't pay using the on-line.

Hope this helps answer your questions about fee payments.

Best Wishes,

You can pay it anywhere as long as the bank where the amount will be debited is a US bank, e.g. you have a $ savings account in the US. Otherwise you cannot pay it from your country.
