What is the difference between a SEVIS I-901 fee and a school SEVIS administration fee?
Some schools charge a fee by the year or the semester to support their foreign student/exchange visitor office and automated systems. These fees are neither mandated nor collected by the U.S. government. If you paid a foreign student fee to your school and are not sure if it was the SEVIS I-901 fee paid to SEVP, contact an official at your school for clarification.
