SEVIS Terminations And Visa Revocations Affecting International Students

Phelps Dunbar LLP

United StatesImmigration

Immigration enforcement actions involving international students appear to be increasing. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is actively reviewing SEVIS records for students in F-1 visa status and, in some cases, terminating SEVIS records or prompting visa revocations based on any prior interaction a student may have had with law enforcement—even if there was no arrest, charge, or conviction.

These actions may occur without prior notice to either the student or the institution and can impact students across the country.

Consider these best practices for Designated School Officials (DSOs) and other staff supporting F-1 students at the primary, secondary, and postsecondary levels.
