DS-157 Do we need one for Manlia?

Is a DS-157 required for Manila for a K-1 interview? For some reason, I think I remember seeing that it isn't required even though it is listed in the Packet 4 documents on the Manlia Embassy website.

Be aware K visas are Non-Immigrant visas, and also do forms like a non-immigrant, such as I-134, and DS-157

A. Pay the visa application fee

Payment will still be accepted at designated branches of BPI or Citibank. The bank validates the visa fee payment on the back of a DS-157 form.

So to answer your previous and this question, the bank puts validation of payment on this form, so it looks like it needs to be filled out and turned in.

Some consulates need a receipt from the bank for the fees.

Also included with the packet should be this form:

It lists all the required forms filled out and DS-157 is listed as required.
