How to check and print your SEVIS fee payment confirmation

Facts checked against ICE's official I-901 FAQ on 28 October 2026. PayMySEVIS is an independent service, not affiliated with the U.S. Government.

Once your I-901 SEVIS fee is paid, you can check it yourself and print the official payment confirmation from fmjfee.com. The confirmation is your proof of payment for the visa interview and your arrival in the United States. ICE no longer mails paper receipts.

How long until it shows

  • Card payments show straight away.
  • Western Union and mailed payments can take longer. ICE advises allowing at least three business days for a payment to be received and verified, so pay well before your interview.

Check your status and print the confirmation

Step 1: Open fmjfee.com and tap "Check I-901 Status"

Go to www.fmjfee.com and tap CHECK I-901 STATUS at the top of the page.

  1. SEVIS ID: near the top of your I-20 or DS-2019, starting with N.
  2. Last Name: your surname.
  3. Date of Birth: pick the month, then the day, then the year.

Step 3: Print or save your confirmation

When your payment shows, open the payment confirmation and print it, or save it as a PDF on your phone. If nothing shows yet, wait: it can take up to three business days after a Western Union payment.

Check the SEVIS ID. The SEVIS ID on your confirmation must match the one on your latest I-20 or DS-2019. If they differ, email ICE at fmjfee.sevis@ice.dhs.gov to confirm whether a new payment is needed.

If you paid through us

  • We text you when we've paid, and the Western Union receipt appears in your account for download.
  • Then check the status on fmjfee.com as above. That's the official record, and you never have to rely on our word alone.
  • If it still isn't showing after three business days, message us with your order code and we'll follow it up with the receipt.

What to take to your visa interview

  • Your printed I-901 payment confirmation.
  • Your I-20 or DS-2019 with the same SEVIS ID.
  • Everything else your embassy appointment letter lists.
