INS Extends SEVIS Deadline
January 31, 2003 - The Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS) Jan. 29 announced
a decision to grant a grace period until Feb. 15 for schools
that have experienced difficulty accessing or using the Student
and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). Schools had
previously been required to begin entering data for all new
students and those current students with new reportable events
into the system by Jan. 30. SEVIS is the agency's new database
to monitor and track foreign students. The deadline for all
students to be entered into SEVIS remains Aug. 1.
