SEVP Portal

On March 23, 2018, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) launched the SEVP Portal for F-1 students participating in post-completion optional practical training (OPT).

The portal allows F-1 students to report personal and employer information directly to SEVP. Through the portal, students are able to:

  • Add or edit your phone number.
  • Add or edit your mailing and physical address.
  • Add or edit your employer information.

Please use hyperlinked Table of Content to navigate the SEVIS User Guide for detailed information on the SEVP Portal.
