急问：这种情况到底要不要交SEVIS FEE？

joyzhang1021UID: 2115127

我已经预约下星期返签F2。我知道F2不需要交SEVIS FEE，但是需要证明F1交过。

老公2004年8月拿到的I20，之后分别在转校和结婚的时候更新过I20，SEVIS号一直没有变过，跟第一张I20保持一致。根据https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/这个网页上关于SEVIS FEE的说明，老公符合不需要交SEVIS FEE的学生范围。但是，老公有同学的情况跟他一样，在返签时却被告知需要交，解释无效后，被迫交了。之后返回美国后，向某个组织（可能就是收钱的组织吧，不太清楚）证明了确实不需要交，所以又把钱要了回来。

现在很犹豫，到底要不要交？万一签证的时候问我要，我拿不出，岂不是白跑一趟重新预约？可是根据规定，又属于不用交的范围，很怕交了冤枉钱，就算事后讨回来也很费时费力。请大家帮忙，谢谢！
