SEVIS Fee
New F-1 and J-1 students and scholars are required to pay a SEVIS
(Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) fee before applying
for a U.S. entry visa. The fee is
$200 for F-1 students, and $180 for J-1 students and scholars. The
fee does not apply to scholars and students who are continuing with the
same program (those who are not entering on a new I-20 marked, “Initial”
or a new DS-2019 marked, “Begin a new program”).
Canadian citizens, must pay the fee before going to the U.S. port
of entry. For more information about the requirements and how to pay the fee, please go to SEVIS (SEVIS I-901 Fee) .
