Introduction
Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)

Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is a web-based system that the Department of Homeland Security uses to collect and maintain information regarding nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors, State Department-designated sponsors, and SEVP-certified schools.

• SEVIS facilitates timely electronic reporting
• Both Form DS-2019 and Form DS-7002 are created using SEVIS
• SEVIS protects national security while supporting the legal entry and stay of F/M/J nonimmigrants
• The DOS also rely on SEVIS to track and monitor programs for compliance with US laws

Data in SEVIS must be accurate, current, and complete. Failing to maintain accurate and current record of the exchange visitor and his/her host may affect the exchange intern’s ability to remain in or return to the United States.
