What is the SEVIS fee Ive heard about?
A. On September 1, 2004, the U.S. Department of State mandated a $35 Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee for all camp participants. This fee must be paid before Camp USA is able to print DS-2019 forms. Camp USA will provide participants with SEVIS receipts, which they must bring to the embassy as proof of payment. Participants are responsible for paying their SEVIS fee, which is included in all Regular program fees. We recommend that camps allow Pre-Placed applicants to pay the SEVIS fee on their own.
