Student & Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is a U.S. government initiative that manages non-immigrant students and exchange visitors. It oversees schools and programs that admit international students and ensures they adhere to U.S. laws. SEVP provides guidance and support to educational institutions and students, facilitating their study and exchange experiences in the U.S. Through the SEVP, students obtain a visa and are monitored to ensure they comply with immigration regulations during their stay. This program helps foster cultural exchange and education while maintaining security within the immigration system.
