SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System)

SEVIS, or the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, is a U.S. government database that tracks and monitors international students and exchange visitors during their time in the United States. Educational institutions use SEVIS to report the status of these individuals, including their enrollment and compliance with visa requirements. This system helps ensure that international students follow proper regulations, contributes to national security, and allows for efficient communication between governments and institutions. SEVIS is essential for maintaining the integrity of the U.S. educational exchange programs and visa processes.
