    No, there is no application fee.
  2. Do you accept applicants with terminated or completed SEVIS records?

    You may access your I-94 at US Customs and Border Protection's I-94 page. If you came to the US and went through a machine border, then you won’t get an I-94. Let us know, and we will waive it from your application.
