To request a fee transfer, email us and put Fee Transfer in the subject line of your request. Please provide:
1. Your name
2. Date of birth,
3. The SEVIS ID number that you originally paid on and the SEVIS ID number you want to transfer the payment to
4. A current, valid address where we can mail your updated Form I-797 receipt to you.
SEVP will review your request and determine if the fee can be transferred. If your request is approved, you will receive an updated I-797 payment receipt reflecting the SEVIS ID from your new Form I-20 or DS-2019.
When you apply for any benefit where the SEVIS I-901 fee will be verified, you will need to provide a copy of the updated I-797 fee receipt.
