Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)

Beginning February 15, 2003, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) will be put into use to monitor the status of persons who enter the U.S. with an F, M or J visa. In order for students/exchange visitors and their dependents to qualify for an F, M or J visa, the school or exchange program in the U.S. must issue a Certificate of Student Status (I-20) or Certificate of Exchange Visitor Status (DS-2019) on a SEVIS-generated form and must register each person on the SEVIS website. Each applicant must submit a SEVIS-generated I-20 or DS-2019 with a unique barcode number and must be listed on the SEVIS website.

The SEVIS fee can be paid online at www.fmjfee.com.
