SEVIS fee, DS-160 and visa interview, in the right order

We read your I-20, prepare the SEVIS payment for your approval, build a tap-to-copy answer sheet for the DS-160, and watch for interview slots so you can grab an early one.

What schol handles

  • Read your SEVIS ID off your I-20
  • Prepare the $350 SEVIS fee, paid only when you tap approve
  • Turn your profile into a DS-160 answer sheet
  • Watch for interview slots and text you when an earlier one opens

What only you do

Certify the DS-160 yourself and attend the interview. We never sign or submit under oath for you.
