Hello, can I ask what address should I put in my I-901 if I’m applying F1 visa? My address in my home country or the one where I’m gonna stay during my studies ?
This is really good , but I have a question when I give the SEVIS fee payment confirmation paper that’s means the visa officers can see the i20 and acceptance letter online ?
Good afternoon. If your I-20 has your middle name and you did not put it when filling out the I-901 and paying the sevis fee, will there be an issue when applying for the visa?
Bonjour, Je vous écris ce matin pour vous faire part des difficultés que j'ai à imprimer la facture de payement de mes frais sevis. En effet sur le site de la fmjfee, c'est dit que j'ai déjà effectué le paiement et que je devrais dès maintenant imprimer la facture pour me préparer à la demande de visa mais à chaque fois que je tente de le faire un message d'erreur apparaît sur mon écran. J'aimerais ainsi savoir si c'est tout à fait normal que pour un moment, la facture ne soit pas disponible et que je devrais attendre encore un certain temps pour que je puisse infin l'imprimer.
Good day brother, Please I some clarification on the issue below; can I reuse the Sevis fee payment confirmation if the payment is made within 12 months. The reason why asking is; I was denied F1 Visa this past december but I will be applying again for Visa for the Fall Semester. Can I reuse the same sevis payment for Fall Semester? please help!
sir. thank you for the information Since 6 months My J-1 visa is under administrative processing. I have been informed by email that the Interruption of SEVIS Information to Consular Offices & SSA, what do they mean by this?
Hi thanks for the video. I’m in Australia paying for my cousin in Ghana. Can I pay online with debit card. I went to our local western union but they have no clue of how to send the payment
Very informative video. While filling out my information on the applicant’s info page. I'm required to enter the school code. Pls where is it found on my i20 . Thanks
Just fill out with your information again. You'll be directed to a page where you can choose if you want to see the status of the payment or select another way to pay. Click on the second option and change the payment category that you want.
How do I pay for my i20 because my school say I should pay for my i20 before sending me and the self service portal is not working can I pay for it in another way
You don't pay for the I-20 to be sent to you. You only have to show a proof of funds to cover your studies before an I-20 is issued by the school. Nevertheless, that's not paying.
Am an international student and I have been in a college from 2019 to 2021 whereby my F1 visa is expired now but I have been transferred to a university in which I paid new Sevis fee for a new I-20 since my college one expired ….. now I want to go back to my country to renew my F1 visa . Do I need to pay Sevis fee again to apply for the visa ?
Hello I just discovered a mistake was made on my DOB on my I-20 form. It’s suppose to be 12/02/91 but it shows 21/02/1991. I spoke with the person in charge and all he could tell me was that I should use the correct DOB on my intl passport. Question is : Will I be able to pay the sevis fee pls and hope it won’t cause issue in the embassy if they are seeing two different DOB on the passport and I-20 form? Is there any correct that can be made ?
Email your school, and they will ask for your passport . Once you send your passport, they will update your 1-20 form to the date written in that passport
It keeps on saying error not authorized tried paying it from multiple credit and debit cards. Can you please help me. I don’t know what to do and my interview is on Tuesday
Should I pay sevis fee before I request an expedited appointment and if my request is denied and am supposed to use my normal appointment date am I going to pay another sevis fee
Hello sir, I’m from Cameroon and I am presently in china I really have some issues filling the ds-160 and paying my service fees please help me out I need your help
I pay my SEVIS fee in November 2020 but I want to reapply now in December 2021 I didn't know maybe am going to pay another SEVIS fee again please explain thanks
That's the limitation of the SEVIS fee. It can only be used to apply for a US visa within 12 months from the date of payment. If you have not got your US visa in that time, then you will need to make a new SEVIS fee payment.
That payment is a cheat and unfair at best. In my opinion, students whose visas a were approved should be the ones to pay the SEVIS fee. After all, they should be the ones to be monitored in the US. Rejected applicants should be refunded, just as the UK refunds Health Surcharge if visa is unsuccessful. It's a huge $350 blowing up in flames for many rejected applicants
Fair point. But keep in mind it costs the US Government Agency money to run the SEVIS program specifically for F1 visa and M1 visa students, and most people only pay this fee once through the entire duration of their studies in the USA.
@@SojourningScholar Yes, but a rejected visa applicant has no F1 status, thus US Government Agency incurs no cost on that applicant as no service is rendered for such applicants. So again, whats the point for paying $350..??
@@SojourningScholar say I wish to defer to next fall as fall 2023 in that case it's 12 months post i20 issuance in that case i will have to pay the sevis fee again correct??
Hi there thanks so much for wonderful information 😊 I have a question for you . If you can answer and help me out I’m will be so grateful to you. I currently hold f1 visa which is going to expire in 2024. I was in USA in 2019 . Due to medical reason I have to leave USA at start of my 1st semester. After leaving my i-20 got terminated. Then because of COVID lockdowns I couldn’t come back in time. I basically want to travel back on (Absense of leave ) Now I currently hold a new valid I-20 from another university. And going to pay SEVIS Then looking to travel next month before start of my semester. So my question to you is that As my stamped visa is still valid Until 2024 Do have to still pay for SEVIS ? And at the airport will they allow me to enter? Based on my internet research I’m eligible But I am not sure about mu research 😌 I need an expertise advice Please reply me back if you can Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoy the content here. To my understanding a new SEVIS fee is required whenever a new SEVIS ID is created. If your SEVIS ID is the same as on the old I-20, you would not need to pay the SEVIS fee. Bit if it is different, then you will need to pay the fee.
@@SojourningScholar thanks a million’s for your reply 😃 Yes you have a amazing content point to point Which is very helpful to me and hope to others as well .
Please Western Union is currently not sending money out of Nigeria, so how I do I pay my SEVIS fee from Nigeria? A friend of mine tried paying for me in the UK, but their agents(Western Union) declined and insisted I make the payment in person.
@@SojourningScholar they said I must do it myself, but the homeland security just replied my email and they said Western Union Quick Pay can be done by a 3rd party on my behalf. So I'll tell him to try another agent on Monday. Thanks so much for your assistance and time. I appreciate. God bless you.

Hi, when someone receives i-20 from different universities, do the I-20 have the same SEVIS Number or is the number different?

Sounds interesting. Was that agreed upon with your university?
Hi , please the link to how to use Western Union Quick pay please

When the SEVIS number is transferred, a new SEVIS fee is usually not required. Same thing applies when renewing a visa.

Get your school to issue a new Form I-20 before you pay your SEVIS fee.
Email your school, and they will ask for your passport . Once you send your passport, they will update your 1-20 form to the date written in that passport
Hi,my sevis status says paied but when I try to transfer it says it’s expired
But pls my question is who do we make this payment to? After getting the check drawn from a USA bank who exactly am I making the payment to?
Check out our bog in the description section, it's explained in more detailed there.

How much is the J1-visa cost?
Hello! Is there any problem if I have a different SEVIS ID and SEVIS fee? (its because I changed schools) Thank you!
Not at all.
Thanks for your effort and info!
I would not expect any issues with that. There should be a currency conversion on the part of your bank/credit card.
@@SojourningScholar Thanks ❤️ wish u a good day 🥰
It keeps on saying error not authorized tried paying it from multiple credit and debit cards. Can you please help me. I don’t know what to do and my interview is on Tuesday
In the worst case, you can try the alternative payment by Western Union QuickpayTM in the worst case.
I have the same issue, did it go through
Can we learn the status as we paid the service fee or will we learn the status after the receipt comes?
After the receipt comes out
My SEVIS payment is more than a year do I need to repay the SEVIS fee?
Yes, if you have not received any approvals since then.
Should I pay sevis fee before I request an expedited appointment and if my request is denied and am supposed to use my normal appointment date am I going to pay another sevis fee
You will not pay another SEVIS fee as long as you can get a US student visa within 12 months from when the SEVIS fee is paid.
How can one pay for the sevis fee if the person leaves in ghana..does the person have to go to western union?
That's what you'll have to do if you're from one of the countries mentioned.
Hello! If i pay my sevis fee before 1 week of my interview date is it okay?
If you can get all your receipts at the time of your interview, you should be good.
Good day, how do I get your contacts?. I would really like to talk to you about some personal things.
How do I get an interview date after paying for SEVIS and visa fee
Hello sir, I’m from Cameroon and I am presently in china I really have some issues filling the ds-160 and paying my service fees please help me out I need your help
Contact the Designated School Official (DSO) at the school's international office.

SEVIS fee receipt is required before attending visa interview

More to come for sure!
Please i applied for a visa interview before i am about to pay for sevis fee hope it wouldnt affect the interview
As long as you get the receipt before your interview you should be fine.

Please can someone from the United States pay the SEVIS FEE through western union in the US.
Possible

That depends on your home country as described in the video.
Hey same here so what did you do?
Hello bro i am gambian but the person paying my sevis is in Bermuda is it possible for me
Yes anyone can pay for a student SEVIS fee no matter where they are. Hope you were able to pay
Am from Ghana but live in Dubai. So can I make payment with my credit card here in dubai?
I don't think that would work if you are making a SEVIS payment as a Ghanaian national.
Hi hope kindly direct me how you paid for your sevis fee. I am in Dubai too
Please can someone in the uk pay for someone in Nigeria?
It's possible
Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Yeah, you can. But keep in mind that the fee payment is valid for 1 year from the date of payment.

You should be able to pay electronically.
What is the validity of sevis fee?😊
One year
1 year from date of payment.
Please how to get the SEVIS ID?
it is generated when the US university issues your Form I-20. In other words it comes with your Form I-20, not seperate.
Hi there thanks so much for wonderful information 😊
