    SEVP and SEVIS
    The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) manages the Student and Exchange Visitor
    Information System (SEVIS). SEVP is a program under the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
    agency within Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    SEVIS came online in 2003 to track and monitor the status and activities of nonimmigrant students and
    exchange visitors (EVs) who enter the United States. This web-based system collects real-time
    information on nonimmigrant students, EVs, approved schools, and program sponsors. This information
    is available to a variety of stakeholders. SEVIS also retains information on Exchange Visitor Program
    sponsors and visitors that are approved by the Department of State (DoS). The DoS web site is
    http://exchanges.state.gov/education/jexchanges/about.htm

    This quarterly review is based on information retrieved on July 1, 2008. As SEVIS is a real-time data
    base, exact numbers within this review were accurate as of the date retrieved. The below list contains
    the various organizations that request data and information stored in SEVIS. SEVP continues to see the
    number of requests increase as SEVP’s abilities and SEVIS’ capabilities expand.
