Presentation Description: Terminating the SEVIS record of a student or scholar can destroy a life; the decision should be carefully considered based solely on legal considerations.

We will also examine a number of termination hypotheticals and encourage the audience to share their own experiences.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will learn the legal and practical effects of termination.
Attendees will review the SEVIS drop down menu and learn to interpret it.
Attendees will learn the deadlines for termination, which are mandatory, and which are discretionary.
