J1 College Academic Program (Hospitality Management) arriving Oct 7th

my appointment is 21st sept, so i should have my forms im, i'm so glad i haven't had to rearrange it!

 

Still i wouldnt worry.. my appointment is on the 26th and I was told i'd get get the visa on my passport that same day or the next.. so.. dont worry.. in 2 weeks we should be sooo ready for Disney!!!

 

how much is the sevis fee?

also my passport has been through the wash! the laminated bit with all the details is fine, as is the cover. its just the pages that look wrinkled!

u think i'll be ok? i really cant afford to buy another.

 

the SERVS fee is $100 dollars.

 

Passports have this bar code thingy where they check all your information.. i guess that as long as that's fine.. there shouldnt be a problem but maybe.. you should ask at the External Affairs office.. or however the office where you get ur passport is called haha

 

IS THAT $100 ON TOP OF THE FEE WE'VE ALREADY PAID FOR THE APPOINTMENT?


oh god im screwed

 

Yeah mate its $100 on top sorry! But thats only £50 at the moment so thats something lol, not like you have to find £100. Have you got any games consoles or things you could sell for a few hundred just to tide you over? Thats what im doing.

 

All this money we have to pay is driving my parents nuts! I dont get paid until the end of sep either... wish yummu jobs had told us we'd have to pay out more for Visa etc : Im a POOR student! Lol

 

nah i dont think i have anything. and definitely not here, cos im not staying at home and wont be till the friday before we go!!

do u have to use a visa card for ur sevis fee? cos it pisses me off that i cant use my switch maestro natwest card. my mum wont be impressed!

 

try your debit card and if it doesn't work use a visa or mastercard that way you folks hopefully won't be so edgy with you. lol at least you can pay yours i'm still waiting for my ds 2019!

 

Hey guys.. just a question.. im trying to pay my SEVIS fee.. but i have a doubt.. on the RECEPIT DELIVERY ADDRESS.. did you put ur home country address or the US ADDRESS that's on the DS2019?? ???

 

SEVP accepts payment by:

* Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit cards
* Debit cards (also known as check cards) that have the Visa or MasterCard logo

Hope this helps!

 

I put my home address in the UK as that is where I want it to be delivered to so that I can take it to the US embassy, Im 99% sure thats the idea behind it!

Hope that helps!!

 

Thanks so much! i've finally payed my SEVIS fee!!
gosh! 130usd!!! it's all money, money, moooney!! I think im gonna faint!!
I can see a loooooooooot of extra hours at Disney in my future!! hehe

 

Hi-5 to everyone!!
I'm Lara from Aussieland. Got my DS-2019 form, and booked my interview on the 19th,,so nervous >.< Hope it goes well for everyone.
I just have one question: How do we pay for the application fee??

 

The application fee we had to pay over the phone when we booked our interview. The sevis fee is paid over the internet. I don't know if it's the same in Australia though. Are you arriving on the 7th as well?

 

Passports have this bar code thingy where they check all your information.. i guess that as long as that's fine.. there shouldnt be a problem but maybe.. you should ask at the External Affairs office.. or however the office where you get ur passport is called haha
----------------

BRITISH PASSPORTS DONT HAVE A BARCODE!! or at least mine doesnt. does anyone know if mine will be ok having been washed?


and el, no i havent had my forms back yet! im talking about for next week

now i dont get paid till wednesday, will it be ok to pay my sevis then? my appointment is friday. i can just claim that the form didnt arrive till wednesday??

 

Do any of you unemployed peeps, know what we are supposed to write for boxes 20 and 21 on the DS-156? It wierd as Ive been told leave box 20 blank and put student under 21 but I know at least one person has been told different!

Any advise as to how you are going about it would be much appreciated! lol

 

I don't really know if your passport will be ok. It probably will because they should be able to tell that its not fake or anything. I would email yummy jobs if you're not sure. Otherwise I remember reading in an email from yummy jobs that if you don't pay the sevis in time then you should still be alright but maybe you could pay it on credit card or something.

About the ds156. I heard that most people have been told to put student and that's what i'm gonna put.

 

Ok Louise, so do you mean put student on both boxes or just 21 (occupation) and leave 20 (address and name of employer) blank?

Cheers!
