    The SEVIS fee is for supporting the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) and the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The SEVIS fee is usuallyrequired when international applicants apply for an F-1 or J-1 visa to study or exchange in the United States.The SEVIS fee or I-901 fee then funds the programme office and automated system tracks students and/or exchange visitors, ensuring that they are able to maintain their student visa status while studying and living in the US.
