If a student in the initial SEVIS status did not attend the school and wishes to transfer to another Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified institution or programme, he or she can submit an I-901 SEVIS transfer request. The student will be able to transfer the fee from one SEVIS ID number to another. If there is a legitimate record of the SEVIS fee in your name, a green Request Transfer button will show on the page. The entire procedure normally takes 2 business days.
