Simplifying SEVIS Fee Payment for African Students—Powered by Crispy Global Consult

Paying the SEVIS Fee is a vital requirement for international students applying for a U.S. study visa. While the process is typically straightforward for students in other regions, many African students face challenges when attempting to make this payment. One common issue is that debit or credit cards issued in African countries are often declined. Alternative payment methods can also be complex, costly, and unclear.

At Crispy Global Consult, we understand these barriers and are here to help. Are you unsure what SEVIS is or how to make the payment easily from your country? This guide explains the SEVIS system, outlines payment requirements, and introduces a simple, fast, and reliable solution that allows you to pay in your local currency.

Let’s break it down.

What is the SEVIS Fee?

The I-901 SEVIS Fee is mandatory for international students and exchange visitors applying for U.S. visas (F-1, M-1, or J-1). This fee is separate from the visa application fee and should only be paid after receiving your I-20 (for students) or DS-2019 (for exchange visitors).

Information You Need to Pay the SEVIS Fee:

To make the payment, you’ll need the following:

• Full Name

• Date of Birth

• Email Address

• Country of Birth and Citizenship

• U.S. School Code

• SEVIS ID Number

• Residential Address

Double-check your details carefully—mistakes can affect your visa process.

How Much Does the SEVIS Fee Cost?

• F-1 or M-1 visa: $350

• J-1 visa: $220
  Note: A small processing fee may apply depending on your payment method. It’s essential to complete this payment at least three business days before your U.S. visa interview.
