There have been important updates in 2025 regarding the termination of F-1 student SEVIS records. The changes aim to clarify when a student's SEVIS record should be terminated and how schools and students are notified.
Under the updated guidance, Designated School Officials (DSOs) are given clearer protocols on terminating a record for violations like unauthorized employment or failure to enroll, and students may receive more timely warnings. International students should stay in close communication with their DSOs and address any issues promptly to avoid SEVIS termination. These 2025 updates reflect an effort to make the process more transparent and fair for students.
