Scheduling for a USEM interview online

[Dean_De 61]

Can anyone who had just done the online scheduling with the US embassy in Manila share infos on how to schedule interview online with the US embassy manila? I think the portal had been upgraded as of July. just wanna be sure we are on doing the right thing. How much was the visa fee and what do I need to bring with me at the BPI to pay the visa fee.

I went to BPI bank in my place I was charged 15,400 they will give you the receipt you must keep it..and then I made appointment over the phone.make sure that you make an appointment 4-5 hours after you paid ur visa fee because when you do it after an hour the system might not read the transactions yet. keep the white slip u will need it n ur interview.

Just go to the nearest BPI in your area and tell them you are paying for visa fee. For k1 they charge $350 and that will be in peso so i must say it depends on the exchange rate the time you are paying for it. Bring your passport with you just in case they look for it because they did look for mine. Good Luck!

You also need to bring your passport.

Pay the visa fee at BPI, wait a day, then schedule online.

You will need passport info, BPI receipt #, manila case #. It will also let you designate where to deliver or pick up the visa. If you designate

where to deliver or pick up the visa, then no need to fill up another 2Go form at the USEM. We picked up ours at the 2Go branch Mall of Asia

and we had visa in hand in 3 business days.

Good luck!

Also, when asked for the Reference No. when you schedule online, if your Receipt Number doesn't work, type in your passport number.

I went to pay BPI last Saturday, August 20, around 5PM. The teller asked what type of visa, I said K-1 fiancee so she said $350 and showed me the peso conversion for it. I paid P15,050 and the teller asked to look at my passport to be sure I got it right, but I didn't bring it with me. She asked if I was sure of my passport# and I said positive 'cause I have it memorized. Make sure you keep your receipt with you. Normally, the receipt# is your passport#. I wasn't able to schedule an interview until Monday 1PM, that is counting 4 hours of the 'next business day' since I paid on a weekend.
