This description suggests this data is something either being converted or misinterpreted.
With a Visa connection, you need to use the correct Channel and Packacker to precisely match the message structure and network data flow that that Visa are using.
In your initial post, you mentioned X25Channel, I wonder if you are using that in error?
Can you share details of the setup you have when these 'extra' bytes are being seen? Include when they occur, in terms of ahead of the first message or start to appear later on.
Also, are you sending requests to Visa or receiving requests from them?
Finally, please share the details of the Header and MTI that follows these odd bytes, in character and in hexadecimal if possible.
