Sorry, I can't retrieve that link. If that is the actual page with the deposit slip, it can't be linked. It generates a new slip with unique number every time you click the link to generate one. This is the page: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-paymentinfo.asp

I assume you already went there. If you scroll down and click 'Deposit Slip-$240 MRV Fee', it generates the slip. Print it. Yes, you bring this slip to BPI along with your passport and case number. The way they did it for us is the bank just printed receipt on the back of the customer copy of the deposit slip. The receipt number on the deposit slip was the same as the bank's. When we scheduled online, the receipt number was accepted. I know it used to be passport number, and maybe it still is for some consulates. However, the deposit slip has only been in use since September. As far as I know, you schedule with the unique receipt number of the deposit slip. Just check to see what numbers are printed by the bank when you pay. If the receipt number doesn't work, try your passport number.

Thanks ToddnJessa. Will do that in a bit. Goodluck to the both of you and to all of us here.

BPI prints a receipt for payment of your visa fee, and in our case they did use the same number as the deposit slip we printed. It did take a few hours after payment before we could schedule our interview. Our interview is now scheduled, and the available dates ranged from the third week of November through the end of December.

Interesting. That is not what happened for us. I guess the procedure is flexible then. My fiancee did ask for receipt, and the teller said what was printed on the back of the deposit slip was fine. The BPI receipt was printed directly on the back of our customer slip and number showed the same. No separate receipt was printed. Everything was accepted though so no worries I guess. According to the website, it will take a few hours to process if payed before 3PM. If payed after 3PM, you have to wait until at least 11AM the next day. The latter is what happened to us.

This may seem like a really obvious question but what is "manila" I just got my NOA2 so Im jittery and trying to figure out the next step. I assume the next step is to call the NVC in a week correct? After that I will be able to schedule my interview and pay the visa fee? HELP ME PLEASE LOL

Manila is in the Philippines. It is the most densely populated city in the world.

Disregard the first part of my last post. I thought you said they "didn't" give a receipt number the same as deposit slip. Losing my mind and creating confusion

I was just wondering the same thing. I have been checking igor's list and there is very few updates compared to last week. My hope of getting NOA 2 this week is dwindling. This is infuriating

We got it! We got it! We got it! 10:30 eastern time in the US, 8:30 in Panama where we are right now... while waking up...... yayyyyyy! Jumping and hugging in bed!

Finally! First thing Jarrod said: You might still make it in time for Christmas!

Thank you April fellow filers.

Now waiting a week to call NVC and get our number since we left the packet 3 ready with my mom down in Buenos Aires so she can deliver it to the embassy as soon as we get that case number. So happy... we were getting close to 200 days and losing our hope, but here it is!
