US Reverses SEVIS Terminations
According to the latest immigration news updates, the US government has restored the SEVIS records of international students. A SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) is a database that the DHS uses to manage and track the data of international students (F-1 visa, M-1 visa) and J-1 visa holders in the US. Following the sudden SEVIS terminations, the US government has reinstated the SEVIS records for several international students.
Most international students, including Indians, were reported about the restoration by their Designated School Officers (DSOs). Some immigration attorneys in the US also claim that the Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) is devising a framework for the SEVIS terminations that is yet to be finalized, announced, and implemented; until then, the SEVIS records of students will continue to be restored.
