Pay Your SEVIS Fee and Print Your Receipt

In addition to your I-20, you must pay the SEVIS fee before applying for your student visa. The SEVIS fee, charged by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is a fee that individuals visiting the country with F-1 status must pay to cover expenses involved in administrating and maintaining the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). As of March 30, 2023, the fee assessed is $370 (excluding the $85 per person biometric fee charged for yourself and any dependents). You can pay the SEVIS fee online by credit card through the Student and Exchange Visitor (SEVP) I-901 SEVIS Fee Processing website. Make sure you enter your name exactly as it appears on your I-20.
