In order to confirm that their data is included in the SEVIS system, applicants for any of the visas covered by SEVIS are expected to contact their US-based academic institutions. In addition to the fee for applying for a visa, they must also pay separately for SEVIS. The cost is $350 for non-immigrants who have an I-20 form.
