SEVIS is the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System an electronic system by which student and scholar data is transmitted directly to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
There are three main components of SEVIS:
- Creating F-1 and J-1 student and scholar records
- Production of the Certificate of Eligibility [Forms I-20 and DS-2019]
- Reporting events to comply with SEVIS regulations
SEVIS Fees:
The SEVIS fee is paid by F-1 and J-1 students and scholars to cover the cost for the operation of SEVIS. This is a government fee that is paid directly to the U.S. government through the Student and Exchange Visitor Program [SEVP]. The fee is not a UCI fee. Generally those with an initial I-20 or DS-2019 issued after September 1, 2004 are subject to this fee.
