As a former principal designated school official (PDSO), Jenifer Jaques brings an insider’s prospective to her role as a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) field representative. Her academic background and experience has helped schools better understand SEVP and comply with the nonimmigrant student process. 

 

Ms. Jaques was interviewed for the latest edition of the SEVP Spotlight, where she shares her unique story of serving as a PDSO at a non-standard educational institution that has helped prepare her for her role in supporting SEVP’s mission as one of its field representatives.
