SEVIS II Webinars
The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has begun a monthly webinar series focusing on SEVIS II updates and demonstrations. The free webinars are primarily intended for F/M designated school officials. Each session can accommodate up to 500 participants and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the webinar. Each session will focus on a different SEVIS II topic. Additionally, SEVP’s SEVIS II team will provide the latest news and announcements, as well as answer questions from webinar participants. Each session will be recorded and be made available for download within one week.
See the table below for dates, topics, instructions, and archived webinar materials. Click on the months in the table below to expand the tab and get more information on each webinar.
You can submit a question for the next SEVIS II webinar by email. You can also download a compiled list of frequently asked questions from all past SEVIS II webinars.
