receipt number

[qtie.kikay 1]

Hi everyone, im trying to set an appointment online and for the step 8 they are asking for the receipt number so i put the receipt number that the bank teller told me, the 3 digit number on the upper left corner of the deposit slip/payment slip. Anyone here experiencing the same, when i entered the number it says "No valid record can be found for the entered receipt number. Please validate that your receipt number is correct and that you have paid the correct amount for the visa which you are applying for".... Am i writing the correct receipt number?i need an answer with this ASAP..thanks so much in advance...

I believe it has been mentioned in the forum your passport number is your receipt number.

member Hank has posted this info... When scheduling online with the embassy you need to include the "XX" at the beginning of the passport number, your passport number IS your receipt number.

Does your passport number have XX at the beginning? Did you type the XXs in caps? Lastly, it can take 24 hours sometimes before your payment is recorded with the embassy.

After NOA2 AND YOU HAVE YOUR MNL # (don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

The DS-156 can be difficult to complete sometimes, if you have issues try a different web browser. I had problems getting it to print with IE8, Chrome, Firefox, finally got it to print using Safari.
