Session Overview: This session is designed for Primary Designated School Officials (PDSOs), Designated School Officials (DSOs), and other administrators responsible for managing international student records. The session will provide an understanding of SEVIS regulations, effective practices for maintaining student records, and strategies for addressing common challenges in SEVIS management. Participants will gain practical tools and valuable insights to enhance SEVIS data accuracy, streamline processes, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while effectively supporting international students. Through an interactive troubleshooting format, we will examine key scenarios such as visa delays and renewals, transfers, Form I-17, leaves of absence, deferred inspection sites, reduced course loads, the I-515A form, and student travel complications. Additionally, attendees will receive a toolkit that includes sample best-practice documents and communication templates to facilitate family engagement and standardize processes. Bring your wildest questions and your most memorable stories! Let’s build a network of supportive professionals who’ve been there, done that, and are ready to help each other navigate the SEVIS jungle. Whether it’s a visa hiccup, a paperwork fiasco, or a travel nightmare, we’ve got your back—and we’ll probably have a good laugh along the way! *Not intended to provide legal advice; we are not immigration lawyers!
