SEVIS fee...

International Students

<p>Okay, another visa related question (sorry,..!!)...
I know I have to pay my SEVIS fee before I go for the interview, buut... the problem is that I can't decide between George Washington and Boston U,...
atleast not yet, soooo can I pay the SEVIS fee for them both, or does it not allow me to do so...?
Also, is an online receipt of the payment enough... or do they require the real receipt that is sent by mail? This is important so that I know how long I have to decide...</p>

<p>Any help will be crazy appreciated. I'm totally clueless about the whole system...</p>

<p>Oh, can anyone give me a run down of what all I need to take to the interview? Don't want to leave anything out considering how picky the Americans are.</p>

<p>Oki, thanks for your help (please help), now I shall go sing praises of Uncle Sam..... blehh...</p>

<p>Haven't you accepted an admission offer by ONE of the two. The common reply deadline was May 1st I think? :confused:</p>

<p>Hm yeah I paid the deposit at both BU and GW... and have received my I 20 from them both, as I have instructions to pay my SEVIS fee..!
I'm confuuuzed..!! </p>

<p>Okay, easier question... how many of you have paid your SEVIS fee...??! Because this thread DOES NOT warrant just one reply (yay mercurysquad)...</p>

<p>no seriously, i need help!</p>

<p>Yeah I paid my SEVIS fee and I don't think you can pay it for both but I am not 100%. Also online receipt will be enough for the visa interview.</p>

<p>why not make a simple call to the embassy ? :) </p>

<p>When are you going to decide anyway ? I think its about time you did don't you think ?</p>

<p>If GWU or BU find out that you've paid deposits at both the places, they'll probably rescind your admission offer!! You have to decide NOW!!!</p>

<p>^^^fook..! damn, didnt know that.
Okay, that's freaky... thank you, and thanks to all for help on the SEVIS dilemna...
much appreciated!</p>

<p>Now I must figure out where I'm headed...</p>

<p>Yeah that's what I was wondering about - you can accept only ONE offer of admission! Better decide now and DONT let anyone know about the other..</p>
