As of March 2016, there are more than 1.18 million F and M students studying in the United States, a 6 percent increase from March 2015, according to the latest SEVIS by the Numbers report available on ICE.gov.

Unlike previous reports, this SEVIS by the Numbers report features year-to-year Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) data comparisons. Historically, the report only compared current data with data from the previous quarter.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) releases SEVIS by the Numbers reports on a quarterly basis. The report extracts information from SEVIS to paint a picture of international student trends in the United States.
