SEVIS fee...
Okay, another visa related question (sorry,..!!)...
I know I have to pay my SEVIS fee before I go for the interview, buut... the problem is that I can't decide between George Washington and Boston U,...
atleast not yet, soooo can I pay the SEVIS fee for them both, or does it not allow me to do so...?
Also, is an online receipt of the payment enough... or do they require the real receipt that is sent by mail? This is important so that I know how long I have to decide...

Any help will be crazy appreciated. I'm totally clueless about the whole system...

Oh, can anyone give me a run down of what all I need to take to the interview? Don't want to leave anything out considering how picky the Americans are.

Oki, thanks for your help (please help), now I shall go sing praises of Uncle Sam..... blehh...

Haven't you accepted an admission offer by ONE of the two. The common reply deadline was May 1st I think?

Yeah I paid my SEVIS fee and I don't think you can pay it for both but I am not 100%. Also online receipt will be enough for the visa interview.

If GWU or BU find out that you've paid deposits at both the places, they'll probably rescind your admission offer!! You have to decide NOW!!!

Yeah that's what I was wondering about - you can accept only ONE offer of admission! Better decide now and DONT let anyone know about the other..
