How to Pay the SEVIS fee

Please note:  Any applicant appearing for his or her interview who has not paid the SEVIS fee will not be permitted to interview and will be asked to return to the Consulate at a later time with proof that the fee has been paid.

Option #1:  Paying the fee online (credit card only)

If you have a Visa or Mastercard, you may complete Form I-901 and pay the fee online at https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee. When you pay online, you can immediately print an unofficial receipt, which can be presented at your interview as proof of payment.

Option #2:  Paying the fee by mail (U.S. check only)

This method of payment can take up to one month or more for you to receive an official receipt as proof of payment, which should be presented at the time of your interview. http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/I-901.pdf
