SEVIS Fee Payment

SEVIS Fee Payment

Paying the SEVIS Fee and Completing Form I-901:

  • SEVIS I-901 fee: $350
  • You must pay the SEVIS fee when you initially apply for your F-1 visa. Form I-901 is the form used to pay this fee.
  • Bring your SEVIS payment receipt with you to your scheduled visa interview and when you enter the U.S. The fee cannot be paid at the consulate.
  • If you are a current student who has already paid the fee and your SEVIS record has been continuously active you do not need to pay the SEVIS fee again.
  • If you are transferring your SEVIS record from your previous school, you do not need to pay the SEVIS fee again.
  • Refer to SEVP's I-901 SEVIS Fee Frequently Asked Questions for additional information.

Payment Methods

Online Payment by Credit Card:

  1. Go to the SEVIS fee processing site.
  2. Complete Form I-901 online (be sure to insert your name exactly as it appears on your I-20) and supply the necessary credit card information.
  3. Print a copy of the online receipt.
  4. Keep a copy of your receipt with your other immigration documents

The fee must be paid at least three business days prior to the scheduled date of your interview in order for the payment information to show up on the SEVIS system. We strongly recommend that you pay online if possible.

It is most common to pay the SEVIS fee by credit card. Students from certain countries may be required to pay through Western Union or by mail.

Mail Payment by Check or Money Order:

  1. Complete Form I-901 (pdf). List your name exactly as it appears on your I-20.
  2. Prepare a check or money order (drawn on U.S. banks only) in the amount of $350, made payable to "I-901 Student/Exchange Visitor Processing Fee."
  3. Mail the completed I-901 and payment to the address indicated on Form I-901.
  4. Once your I-901 fee has been received, later access the online receipt (use "Check Status" option). Print 2 copies of the online receipt, and keep them with your important documents.
