Abstract: The regulations set forth in 22 CFR Part 62 implement the Department of State's Exchange Visitor Program, including the use of SEVIS (Subpart F) to facilitate timely reporting and monitoring of international students and exchange visitors (EVs) in the US. SEVIS is an Internet-based application for electronically tracking and reporting on EVs, and enables schools and program sponsors to transmit information electronically to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of State. Additional non-electronic requirements under 22 CFR Part 62 are also covered in this submission.
