SEVIS Fee requirements
On September 1, 2004, the Department of Homeland Security implemented the SEVIS fee for any student seeking an I-20 after that date. The fee is $100 and no visa will be issued until the student has paid the fee and has shown the embassy official a receipt. Students who are changing status to M-1 or are applying for reinstatement will be subject to the SEVIS fee as well. See http://www.fmjfee.com for more details.
M-1 students at The National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) must be full time each semester. Full time requirements are as follows:
