What is SEVIS?

The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is an online system that maintains accurate and current information about non-immigrant students (F and M visa), exchange visitors (J visa), and their dependents (F-2, M-2, and J-2). SEVIS allows schools and program sponsors to transmit electronic information and event notifications via the Internet, to the ICE and Department of State (DOS) throughout a student or exchange visitor's stay in the United States. The system reflects international student or exchange visitor status changes including admission at Port of Entry (POE), change of address, change in program of study, and other details. SEVIS also provides system alerts, event notifications, and basic reports to the end-user schools, programs, and immigration field offices.
