SEVIS stands for the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System. The program has been initiated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to electronically track international students pursuing academic or vocational programs in the United States. Under SEVIS, specific information about each international student must be reported to the ICE within a designated
timeframe. Download the SEVIS form here.
