The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) will be temporarily unavailable tonight, Monday, Feb. 29, 2016 from 9 to 10 p.m. ET.

During this time, SEVIS will undergo routine system maintenance and be unable to receive any files. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) advises users to wait until after the scheduled maintenance is complete to use SEVIS batch-file processing. Any attempt to upload files during the planned outage will receive an error message, and the user will need to re-upload the files once the system is back online.

Please continue to monitor SEVP broadcast messages and the SEVIS message board for additional information regarding this outage.
