Applicability of the SEVIS fee

If you are in F, M or J status, you might be subject to a SEVIS fee. This fee is used to support the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, a computer system developed after September 11, 2001.  Generally speaking, new persons in such status are subject to the fee, while returning persons are not. More importantly though, this fee is separate from any fees imposed by the educational institution, State Department visa fees or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) filing fees.

To pay this fee online, visit https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.jsp When you finish, you will be given a confirmation number and the chance to print a payment confirmation page. You should bring that page to your visa interview.
