How it works

SEVISMate pays the U.S. I-901 SEVIS fee on your behalf. We charge in your local currency, settle in USD on FMJfee.com, and deliver the official receipt to your dashboard.

Three steps. That is it.

Enter your SEVIS ID and form details. Pay in your local currency. Receive the official I-901 receipt in your dashboard. No USD card. No Western Union.

Pay in naira,
cedi, or shilling.

Local cards, mobile money, bank transfer through Paystack. We settle the fee in USD on FMJfee.com so you do not have to.

The official I-901,
on file.

The same PDF receipt FMJfee.com would have given you. Stored in your dashboard, downloadable any time, emailed automatically.

How it actually works.

No account required to pay. Make one if you want history, the official receipt on file, and the Arrival Kit unlocked after your first payment.

Students who have been through it.

They were stressed too. Now they are at orientation, in dorms, on campuses across the U.S.

Interview was Friday. SEVISMate Express had the receipt in my dashboard by Thursday morning. Two days of stress saved.
Adaeze O.Lagos · Texas A&M · F-1
Tried to pay on FMJfee.com myself for a week. My card kept getting declined. Paid through SEVISMate in MoMo, took ten minutes.
Kwame A.Accra · University of Houston · F-1
I had no idea the Western Union route was even an option until SEVISMate showed up. So much cleaner. The dashboard kept everything in one place.
Brenda K.Nairobi · Iowa State · J-1
My CBE card kept failing on the SEVIS site. SEVISMate accepted my Telebirr in seconds. Receipt came back the next morning.
Selam T.Addis Ababa · Purdue · F-1
I paid Saturday night, had the I-901 in my email Sunday afternoon. The visa officer in Lagos accepted it without a question.

My program coordinator recommended SEVISMate after another student in our cohort got stuck for a week. So glad I listened.
Aisha M.Kampala · Northeastern · J-1
I was sceptical about a third party paying my SEVIS fee. The receipt came back exactly the same as the official one. Trust earned.
Chimamanda E.Abuja · NYU · F-1
The pricing was clear, the steps were three, and a real person answered when I had a question about my school code. That was the whole pitch and they delivered.
Joseph M.Dar es Salaam · Michigan State · F-1
Paid in cedis through Vodafone Cash. The conversion rate was actually fair, no hidden surprises at checkout. The dashboard tracked everything.
Akosua B.Kumasi · UC Berkeley · F-1
My visa appointment was in 11 days. SEVISMate Express had the receipt back in 8 hours. I would have been completely stuck otherwise.

Quick answers

The stuff people ask.

Anything else, message us at support@sevismate.com. A real person replies.

The mandatory $350 fee that every F-1, M-1, and J-1 visa applicant must pay before the visa interview. No receipt, no interview. SEVISMate handles the payment so you have the receipt ready without the stress of wrestling with FMJfee.com from your country.

Basic is 5 to 7 business days. Standard is 3 to 5. Express is under 12 hours. After we submit, the I-901 system takes another 1 to 3 business days to generate the official receipt. Same on every plan.

Local debit or credit card, mobile money, or bank transfer through Paystack. No USD card needed. We handle the FX so you pay in the currency you already have.

Yes. SSL/TLS encryption end-to-end, the same standard banks use. Your information is never sold or shared. We take this seriously because we know how much is riding on the application.

Reach support immediately, sooner is always better. We will look at the submission with you and figure out what can be corrected or what the next steps are. Do not panic, just message us.

It covers the cross-border payment processing, the FX, keeping the platform running, and a real human reachable when something goes sideways. That is how this stays available for students who need it.

One less thing on your plate.

The SEVIS fee is the easy part to fix. Start a payment in three minutes — receipt back well before your interview.
