DS 156

[jenna rink 0]

I am filling out FORM SD-156 online and for some reason it wont go through and says "Internal server error" Is it mandatory that we need to fill out this SD-156 form online? and generate the barcode from there?

Another question, What form should I bring when I go to the bank to pay for Applicaiton fee?

Yes, it has to be completed online!

Are you trying to use http://www.travel.state.gov/frvi/forms/forms_1342.html ?

I see that one is not working

try this one https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp

Saludos!

I want to repeat the OP's question about which form acts as a receipt for the application fee - for we have the same question. We have seen two different answers from different sources.

Normally you simply show your appointment letter and the bank gives you a receipt to take to your interview to prove you have paid. Check your consulate's website - perhaps they clarify.

I explicitly remember reading that the bank annotates one of the DS forms upon receiving the application payment. Unfortunately when I read this, I was recovering from surgery and was on some pretty ###-kicking pain meds - thus the memory deficiency.

If you search your consulate website, I'm sure you'll find the information there explaining exactly what form needs to be provided . . .

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfivk1.pdf

PROOF OF PAYMENT. The application fee for a K1 or K2 nonimmigrant visa is US$100 (or the

Philippine peso equivalent at the prevailing exchange rate) which should be paid by each applicant at

designated branches of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Citibank (see attached list). The

bank will validate your payment on the DS-156 Nonimmigrant Visa Application Form which you will

find in this packet.

DS-156 needs to be filled out online to generate a barcode. As for the form that the bank validates upon payment, it is the DS-157, not the DS-156...

Take care!

I was surprised that VJ people are really helping others. I was just being too dependent with Mae Cash.. Hehe she is my VJ Q&A provider. To everyone who responded Thank you so much.. I really appreciate it. I hope this post will help others too. Good Luck. --JennaRink
