• All fee payments even in error or in duplicate, are final and nonrefundable. 
• The applicant bears sole responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of any fee paid. 
• Safeguard your visa fee receipts. 
• Lost, inaccurate or incomplete receipts will require the applicant to pay the fee in full again.
• Complete fee receipts must be presented at the time of your visa appointment. 
• If you later find your lost fee receipts, or learn that you made an erroneous or duplicate payment, you will receive NO refund.

• Pay each fee individually and do not combine payments for a family onto one receipt. Safeguard your receipts.
• Pay no other U.S. consular or visa-related fee at Standard Chartered or Permata Bank. Pay at no other bank.
• Bearers of diplomatic passports applying for any visa, and applicants for A, G, C-3, NATO and J visas (only participating in official U.S. Government sponsored exchanges) do not pay.
• If you pay any fee in error or in duplicate, or regardless of the outcome of your visa application, you will receive no refund. 
• All responsibility for correct fee payment and receipt holding is upon the applicant alone. 
• The U.S. Government and the banks bear no responsibility. 
• If an applicant does not want to bear this full responsibility, then please do not seek a visa.

You must schedule your interview for an NIV within one year from the date you obtained your NIV fee receipt. If you do not have an interview within one year, you will be unable to use your NIV fee receipt. The NIV fee receipt is valid for a single application.  It is considered used once you apply for a visa regardless of the outcome of your visa application.  It cannot be used to make a subsequent appointment.


SEVIS Fee:
The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is an Internet-based system that tracks F, M and J visa participants (and their family members) from the time that they receive their I-20 or DS-2019 until they graduate or leave their education program.

F, M and J visa principal applicants: Check with your U.S. school to ensure that your information has been entered correctly and fully into SEVIS. If your I-20 or DS-2019 was issued on or after September 1, 2004, you must pay the SEVIS fee in addition to the NIV application fee. For students with an I-20, the fee is USD$200 and for most exchange visitors with a DS-2019, the fee is USD$180. Proof of payment is required before your student or exchange visa will be issued. Please bring your SEVIS fee receipt (I-901) to your visa appointment. The SEVIS fee website is www.fmjfee.com.

Applicants participating in a U.S. Government-sponsored program (program codes start with G-1, G-2, G-3 and G-7).
