The first group of field representatives of the Student and Exchange
Visitor Program (SEVP) will soon be deploying to locations nationwide.
This group, totaling 15, will be available to serve as day-to-day
liaisons between SEVP and certified schools and schools seeking initial
SEVP certification. The SEVP Field Representative Unit, which will total
60 field representatives located nationwide, will assist schools in
multiple ways, including:
- Ensuring SEVP-certified schools clearly understand the rules and regulations of the program
- Answering questions related to the nonimmigrant student process
- Offering training and assistance to designated officials at participating schools
- Meeting in person with SEVP certified schools twice a year
- Attending regional conferences and meetings related to nonimmigrant students
