Hello guys, please how do I do a SEVIS transfer from one school to another, my interview wasn't successful but I've been itted into another school for spring 2025 and I'd like to transfer my sevis records so i wouldn't have to pay another sevis fee. Please how do do this? Do I need to the previous school to let them know? Ps, I've already gotten my i-20 for the first school, I asked for a deferral which they granted and issued another i-20 for spring but I've decided to accept another school... Please how do I go about it

You can do the SEVIS fee transfer by yourself since your F1 visa was not approved. Go to the link below, enter your SEVIS details and initiate the transfer of your current SEVIS payment to the new school you plan to attend.

JohnZak:
Technically, it is the designated school official who can initiate a SEVIS transfer at the request of the student. The student can't transfer their SEVIS record on their own.

Your case is a bit different since you do not have an active record (never itted to the US to pursue a course of study). The SEVIS fee is valid for about a year so you may not have to pay. If you are sure that you want to attend the second school, the DSO of the second school and let them know that you have an I20 from your first school but want to attend the second school. This is pretty straightforward as many students change their schools before or after they have received their I20s and/or visas.

No. You don’t have an active SEVIS record until you enter a US border and generate an i94 on your entry, if you’re entering on an “initial entry” i20. There’s nothing a DSO can transfer here since he has no “active “ SEVIS record here. I can see sharon8 has already talked about this.

What he will do in this case is to transfer the SEVIS fee on the fmjfee website from the former SEVIS number to the new one.

Please I need help, I made a mistake on my DS-160 form. I didn't include my middle name on my international port But I include it when I booked my visa appointment.

Can I still go to my visa appointment with this mistake? And how can I fix it? My interview date is Dec 4 please help

Honestly, its very frustrating at this point. The website was under maintenance few hours ago so one would expect all issues to have been resolved before it was back online. It came back this morning and the issue still persisted.



Good evening all

Please is there any information yet on this or is there anyone faced with this problem and has been solved!!??[/quote

Your best bet is to submit another DS-160, call the embassy, and seek advise asap... You cannot even get them today, its thanksgiving but you can initiate another DS-160 in the meantime just don't submit yet until you hear from the embassy.

Hi,
Has anyone successfully received their visa after a 221g? Visa was approved at embassy but port was returned after a few days and no additional documents requested. It’s getting to 3 months now. I really don’t know what has happened. What kind of checks are being done during this period. School course is not under technology watch list. Does anyone have a similar experience , please DM.

+2342014603400. This number is for Lagos.
I'm so sorry for late response.
They kept on saying I should wait. It's a month already.

Send them an email

hello guys, please I paid my MRV fee back in July with the old platform, I was told that i need to migrate to the new platform which I have done. I have also sent them a receipt of my payment with GT BANK but till now they have not confirmed the receipt, and I am unable to schedule an interview. Please my school is resuming in January- and I have deferred once already I can't afford to defer again. Can someone help me please? what do i do? I have called and opened a ticket on the avitts platform, and they keep saying to be patient. it's been over 2-3 months.

Visit the official link here - https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.html to generate ur payment order using the SEVIS ID provided in your I-20 docx. After that phase, Pay4Me from playstore or whichever app store. and your identity. Select the option to pay SEVIS fee. It is very straightforward and the payment would be settled within 48hrs or even less.

Goodluck

How can I pay for my sevis fee? Someone should please guide me. Thank you

Did you create another profile in the AVITS portal after they sent you a migration mail from the old portal or you just created the new profile?
Ideally, according to them, they ought to migrate you themselves without you having to do that ursef. Otherwise, it would tell you duplicate profiles later on.

Please who else is having trouble creating a profile on usappt. I have tried to create a profile but it's not responding.. I was previously denied in August using the old platform, could it be the reason? I'm using the same email address...

And you no had no difficulty creating your profile on the new site? Usvisaappt? I tried to create one today to generate the number for the MRV fee but I couldn't... Do you think it's from the site itself or my own end?

send a mail to [email protected], you will get an automated mail on what to do.

Try and look at previous posts to check people that had the same issue. Though, alot of people
filled Abuja on the Ds 160 and late chose Lagos and there was no issue but try and confirm.

Kingsleystan:
Lagos is worse, abuja is better, what dates are you looking at??

I can help you get an earlier date.

Good evening, everyone.

Thank you!

please can you advise on my situation? i paid in july with the old platform and they are yet to confirm receipt

I am not sure this is why. I guess the new platform (AVITS) may be experiencing some technical issue which is preventing new s to create new profiles. Just wait a little bit and then try again.

You can however, call their toll free line to speak with an online representative to ask them if there is alternative means: +234 201 343 8900
Follow the voice prompt with this option: press 1 then wait till another option set, then press 2; 4; 2; 3
