SEVIS Fee

For more information, please see www.dhs.gov, and www.ice.gov/sevis

F, M, and J visa applicants will be charged a fee of $100 to be enrolled in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). J visa applicants in US government-sponsored programs (program numbers beginning with G-1, G-2, or G-3) are exempt from this fee. Derivative visa applicants (F-2, M-2, or J-2) also do not have to pay this fee.

The SEVIS fee can be paid by credit card at the following web page: www.FMJfee.com. It can also be paid locally via the use of the Western Union Quick Pay service. Samples of the Western Union Quick Pay form can be seen on the Student and Exchange Visitor Program website at http://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/index.htm

The SEVIS fee must be paid before a student or exchange visa can be issued. Consular officers will verify that the fee has been paid, but cannot accept payment themselves. Please bring your SEVIS pay receipt to the interview.
