If you are Canadian, the SEVIS fee must be paid BEFORE you reach the US port of entry/border by one of the two methods below.

You will be required to provide proof of payment to the US Embassy/Consulate in order to have your appointment. The proof of payment is the receipt that you will receive after you pay the fee.

How do I pay the SEVIS fee?

The SEVIS fee is US$100. It can be paid for by one of two ways:

1. Electronically, by completing form I-901 on the Internet with a credit card. Please visit the following website to submit your payment by credit card: www.fmjfee.com. You will need to use a Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card. This is the quickest way to pay the fee. You will need to print the receipt directly from your computer and bring it with you to your visa appointment. Gannon University recommends that you use this option to ensure timely processing of your SEVIS fee payment.
2. By mail, by submitting Form I-901 (enclosed) together with a check or money order (not cash) drawn on a US bank and payable in US currency. Ensure your payment envelope has your correct return address. Also, be sure the envelope has both your payment and your coupon or Form I-901. (NOTE: This process can dramatically delay your application process as you must wait for a receipt to be mailed back to you BEFORE you have your F-1 visa appointment). Send to:
