The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published a new rule in the Federal Register on May 23, 2019 which will increase the SEVIS fee for both F-1 and J-1 visa holders effective June 24, 2019. As of that date, the SEVIS fee for F-1 visa holders will increase from $200 to $350 and for J-1 visa holders from $180 to $220. You will pay the current fee as long as you pay it BEFORE June 24, 2019 even if your program starts AFTER June 24, 2019. The SEVIS fee is a one-time fee paid prior to beginning a new program and must be paid before scheduling your visa appointment in a U.S. embassy or consulate. You must print out the SEVIS fee receipt to bring to your visa interview and for entry to the U.S.
Personal Stories
The student body here is without a doubt the best part of Harvard and a huge factor in how much I’ve learned.
Joel Bateman - New Zealand - Harvard College
I was attracted to Harvard for its excellent and broad scientific environment. Specifically, in my case Harvard offered a very unique opportunity allowing me (a theoretical physicist) to work very closely with experimentalists; this is a new and refreshing experience for me.
