美在校国际学生已经开始加入'Verification System'

International Education Services Student Data Verification
Purpose of the Verification System
Beginning in January 2003, US educational institutions are required to
send international student and scholar information to the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) through a computer system known as SEVIS. IES
will send data for each F-1 and J-1 student (sponsored by XX) and their F-
2/J-2 dependents. In order to ensure that the information we send is
accurate, we need you to verify your biographical and academic information

1. each semester during schedule adjustment (the first 1-10 days of class)*
AND
2. each time the information changes.

*As we are working under a tight deadline to implement this system, this
semester the login period for the verification page will be 10/1/02 to
11/1/02. All F-1 and J-1 students (sponsored by UM) need to login and
check their information during this time period. F-2/J-2's will not login
even if they are attending classes at UM; dependent information will be
verified by the F-1/J-1 visa holder.

The purpose of the verification page is to:

Collect address in home country (address outside US). This information is
not in our database but is required by SEVIS.
Identify corrections that need to be made in Name (First, Middle, Last),
country of citizenship, country of legal permanent residency, city of
birth, date of birth, etc. for student/scholars and their dependents. This
information should match passport information.
Update your local address and email address. US address is required in
SEVIS. It cannot be a P.O. Box or an office address. You will be taken to
Testudo's address screen. Please update the "local address" field, your
email address, and phone number. It is vital that we have a means to
contact you concerning your immigration status.

NEW: Frequently Asked Questions About the Verifica
What is the purpose of the verification page?
Beginning in January 2003, US educational institutions are required to
send international student and scholar information to the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) through a computer system known as SEVIS. IES
will send data for each F-1 and J-1 student (sponsored by UM) and their F-
2/J-2 dependents. In order to ensure that the information we send is
accurate, we need you to verify your biographical and academic
information. Specifically, we need to:

Collect address in home country or country of permanent residence (address
outside US). This information is not in our database but is required by
SEVIS.

Identify corrections that need to be made in Name (First, Middle, Last),
country of citizenship, country of legal permanent residency, city of
birth, date of birth, etc. for student/scholars and their dependents. This
information must match passport information exactly.

A U.S. address is required in SEVIS. You will be directed to update your
local address in Testudo. Do not use a P.O. Box or an office address.
Please also update your email address, and phone number. It is vital that
we have a means to contact you concerning your immigration status.

Provide a way for you to see what IES will be sending to SEVIS. In
addition to the information on the verification screen, we need to notify
SEVIS of your enrollment each semester and the completion or termination
of your studies. At the bottom of the verification page, IES will add
these reporting fields as we develop our SEVIS system. For now, we have
listed

Enrollment Status (this should say Enrolled Full-time Fall 2002 or
enrolled part-time with approval from IES, or on Optional Practical
Training. If it says ?art-time without approval?you should contact an
advisor in IES right away about your situation.)

Last Verified on ?date ?informs you of when we last received verification
information from you.

Who is required to participate?
All F-1 and J-1 students with I-20/DS-2019 forms issued by University of
Maryland including students on Optional Practical Training (F visa) or
Academic Training (J visa) following completion of their studies.
Students who do not need to participate at this time:
Students under the sponsorship of other F-1 schools or J-1 sponsoring
agencies (such as LASPAU, IIE, USAID.) Your host F-1 institution or J-1
sponsor will send your information to SEVIS. Contact them for more
information.
Students under other visa types. F-2, J-2, (F-1 or J-1 will update your
information) H-1, H-4, G-4, etc are not currently required to participate
in SEVIS.

How often should I check the verification page?
Each semester, IES is required to confirm the enrollment of each F-1 and J-
1 student under our sponsorship to INS through SEVIS. We must have a US
address (not a PO Box or business address) and a permanent address outside
the US a student to confirm registration. We have a deadline to report
this information (30 days from the end of schedule adjustment).
Consequently, we are requiring each student to login each semester during
schedule adjustment to update address and contact information and to
review all other information for accuracy. In addition, when you change
information identified in one of the areas listed on the verification
page, please update it on the web or come by IES to update it in person.
This information is easier to update via the web page:
US address (local address in Testudo)
US phone number (Testudo)
Email address (Testudo)
Permanent Address Outside the US (Verification Page)
This information will require additional documentation to be submitted to
IES. You can make the request over the web or in person in IES:
Change in name (due to marriage, divorce, corrections, etc)
Adding or removing dependents from your I-20/DS-2019
Change in major
Change in financial support
