IMPORTANT SEVIS UPDATE
The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is experiencing issues with sending information to the Consular Consolidated Database (CCD), a system used by the U.S. Department of State to issue nonimmigrant visas. As a result of these issues, consular officers may report that a nonimmigrant’s information does not appear in their system. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is working with the Department of State to resolve these issues.
