Fee receipts
h3
<p>In each case, the Department of Homeland Security will provide you with a paper receipt (I-797 form) that you must present at the port of entry. When filing online, you can print your SEVIS I-901 receipt immediately. If paying by check or Western Union Quick Pay, it may take two or more weeks for a receipt to be mailed to you.</p>
<h4>Refunds and inability to pay SEVIS fees</h4>
<p>If you cannot make the SEVIS I-901 payment, another person (e.g., family member) can pay the fee on your behalf. The Department of Homeland Security will not refund the SEVIS I-901 fee if you are not approved for a visa or choose not to come to the United States.</p>
<p>The receipt is valid for 12 months and you may reapply for a visa during that period.</p>
