SEVIS Fee Facepalm

<p>My mother paid the SEVIS fee via Western Union and I just got the receipt; she put herself as the applicant. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Can I just go ahead to the embassy with this as-is? I'm heading there Monday...</p>

<p>I’d say it’d be best if you clear that up before you go to the embassy.</p>

<p>Oh no! Yeah, call them right away, you’ll want to get this sorted as soon as possible.</p>

<p>OK, I just got them (F1 Q&A only available 1 hour a day) and they said that my name comes up on electronic SEVIS verification, so it’s not a problem.</p>
