Student and Exchange Visitor Program

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is an initiative by the U.S. government that oversees international students and exchange visitors in the United States. It ensures that these individuals comply with U.S. immigration laws while studying or participating in exchange programs. SEVP manages the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which tracks and provides important information about enrolled students and exchange visitors, their schools, and their visa statuses. This program helps facilitate cultural exchange and education while maintaining national security and lawful immigration practices.
