WE HAVE TO DECIDE IF WILL GOING TO APPLY AS A
GROUPStep 1 Payment of Application Fee
Before going to the bank, applicants must print the applicable U.S. visa application payment slip and take it to the bank to pay the fee of P8000.00 (160 US Dollars) to a BPI bank that accepts US visa payment.
There is an expiration date on the payment slip. Bank agents will NOT accept payments based on expired slips. Each slip has a unique receipt number. Applicants will not be able to schedule an appointment without the receipt number. Please keep the customer copy with the receipt number and the stamp of the bank.
Restrictions
Your visa application fee is
non-refundable and you cannot transfer it to another person. You will receive a
receipt after paying the application fee. This receipt is valid for one year
from the date of payment and allows you to schedule your interview at the U.S.
Embassy/Consulate. You must schedule your interview while the receipt is valid,
which means your interview must be booked within one year of paying your fee.
If you do not schedule an interview within a year of payment then your receipt
will expire, you will not be able to schedule an interview, and you must pay
the fee again and begin the process anew.
Remember: Applicants are limited to
the number of times they can reschedule their appointments. Please plan
accordingly so that you are not required to make another visa application fee.
Visa application fees are nonrefundable.
