Marvic, We did not get the pink slip either. Ours was the same as yours, but we filled out the 157 that the bank stamped and brought the receipt with it. It was accepted. I think PW was just suggesting to bring the receipt as well as the stamped 157 just in case. Congratws PW and good luck Marvic. Ken & Maria

Don't mean to spoil the celebration. But i have a question. I didn't get a pink receipt from BPI when i paid my visa and no 'checkwriter' stamp either. I just got a blank validated DS-157 with stamp 'BPI M.H. Del Pilar USD100.00' the branch where i paid, and a stapled white/blue deposit/payment slip with machine validation same as the ones at the back of the DS-157. Do i need something else or will these suffice to prove i paid the visa, or do i have to go back there at the bank to get the pink receipt?

Thanks for any answers.

Ate Cora...

Why did you have to go and get APPROVED? I was looking forward to showing off my tan... Opps!!! I'm Negoy! I already have a tan. LOL! :devil:

SWEET! What are you doing next? This is when you say, "I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!" Oh, by the by, I believe that you are the first person to have a pleasant encounter with the pre-screeners. In fact, your encounter was beyond pleasant and right there you should have recognized that God was in the midst, which means your approval was destined. Although, you might want to ask God was he on vacation during the first go round. LOL! I joke around like that because I know that God has a sense of humor as well. I pray that once you arrive that we can still keep in contact. Good people are sometimes hard to come by...

We're all wishing you the very best and beyond...

Cheers!!!

If PW is not approved today :devil: , I might be forced to fly to the Phil and run naked around the USE in protest. I can see the news headlines reading, "Black man runs naked around the USE in protest of injustice!" :blush::P:no::lol:

:crying: :crying: :crying: WAAAHHHHH!!! HUHUHU!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Sheriff, you’d better get a seat on the next plane to Manila because you’re gonna run naked in front of the USE.

Just giving you a scare guys. Consul said “everything looks fine” so I guess I’m APPROVED! WOOHOOO! Thank you all for your prayers and support.

Will update more later guys. I need to wake up my hotDoug (my fiance's name is Douglas and I call him hotDoug behind his back hihi)
