You’ve received your U.S. admission letter. Congratulations!
But before you can book your visa appointment, one key requirement stands in your way: paying the SEVIS fee.
By now, you’re probably wondering how to pay this Fee from Nigeria or Ghana, or Kenya. I have good news and some bad news for you.
The bad news: Students in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana can’t pay the SEVIS fee using their local debit or credit cards, as the official SEVIS payment portal doesn’t support them. They are required to pay via checks, Western Union, or money orders.
The good news: This is one of the problems we’ve built the Pay4Me App to solve by making SEVIS fee payments simple and fast. You can pay in your local currency and directly from the comfort of your mobile device, delivered in 1-6 hours.
