Beginning September 1, 2004 all International Students and Exchange visitors will be required to pay a $100 SEVIS fee before being granted an F-1 or J-1 Visa
Why do I have to pay the SEVIS fee?
The USA Department of Homeland Security requires all aliens seeking an initial F-1 or J-1 visa from an embassy or consulate abroad to pay a non-refundable $100 SEVIS fee to maintain the SEVIS database and provide support to the network

Please make sure you pay the Fee and print a receipt atleast 3 days in advance of your consulate interview. Remember, the SEVIS fee cannot be paid at the USA Embassy or Consulate. Dependents do not have to pay the SEVIS Fee
