Are you interested or involved in the international student process in the United States? Have you ever wondered what a Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status,” is or why the role of designated school officials (DSOs) is so important? Find answers to these questions and more, by watching the Student and Exchange Visitor Program’s (SEVP's) new SEVP 101 video.

SEVP 101 explains how SEVP supports the Homeland Security Investigations mission and directorate within Immigration and Customs Enforcement to support and protect national security.  The video highlights SEVP’s interagency coordination with government partners, as well as their interaction with schools and DSOs in an effort to support the more than one million international students, exchange visitors and their dependents in the United States. It provides seasoned or new DSOs, current or prospective students, and academic associations with a better understanding of the international student process and the various regulations that impact those who participate in it.
