What is SEVIS?
SEVIS is an Internet-based system administered by the Department of Homeland

students (F and M visas), exchange visitors (J visa), and their dependents (F-2, M-2, and
J-2 visas).
What does SEVIS do?
The SEVIS system tracks information, such as where you entered the country, your
changes of address, and your changes in program of study.
How much is the SEVIS fee?

consulate or embassy closest to your home.
