sevis requirements
Visa officials are required to verify your record in the SEVIS system before a visa can be approved. This is also true for any dependents. A year ago, there were data transfer problems of some SEVIS records between the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State that resulted in lost information, but most of these problems have been resolved. If the visa official is unable to access your record in SEVIS and you have a SEVIS I-20 or DS 2019, please contact the CIP by email, phone or fax to alert us to the problem.

The SEVIS I-901 fee is US$100 and must be paid before your visa appointment. Make sure to keep your fee receipt. You will need to show this receipt during your visa interview.
