Abstract

The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has delayed the date by which students in the United States who are not U.S. citizens, and who hold non-immigrant visas, must provide—through their schools—certain information to the INS that will be entered in the service's new Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. The new deadline is 15 February. The initial deadline for providing this information was 30 January. However, it has been delayed two weeks “to accommodate schools and visitors centers that are new users” of the Internet-based SEVIS system, according to a statement released by the INS.
