What is the SEVIS fee for international students?

The SEVIS fee is the fee paid by international students prior to entering the United States for study. In Utah, the SEVIS fee for international students is $350 for those applying for the F or M visa, which are used for academic and language study. The fee must be paid prior to applying for the visa and before attending the visa interview at the embassy or consulate. This fee is non-refundable and helps pay for the cost of managing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) which is responsible for monitoring, collecting, and exchanging information about international students. The fee also helps support the US Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to maintain the integrity of the US immigration system. This also helps ensure that all international students are properly enrolled and following the terms of their visas.

La tarifa SEVIS (Sistema de Electronico de manifestaciones de estudiantes y visitantes) es una tarifa aparte de la tarifa de la visa que debe pagar cada no inmigrante que es elegible para la residencia permanente en los Estados Unidos. Esta tarifa es cobrada a cada estudiante internacional que ingresa a los Estados Unidos para estudiar en una institución educativa aprobada por el gobierno federal. La tarifa SEVIS para los estudiantes internacionales en Utah es de US $ 200. Esto no incluye los cargos adicionales cobrados por el gobierno federal para procesar la visa. Es importante que los estudiantes se aseguren de que todos los documentos estén completos antes de pagar la tarifa, ya que una vez pagada no es reembolsable. Las tarifas de SEVIS deberán pagarse solo mediante tarjeta de crédito o tarjeta de débito, o pagos electrónicos en línea.
