What happens if The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh fails to comply with the SEVIS regulations?
The DHS will audit the University’s compliance with these new requirements every two years. Failure to comply with the federal regulations could result in the loss of the University’s ability to accept and admit international students and to invite international scholars. Will SEVIS benefit students in any way? Data moves faster through an electronic system than through a paper system. DHS forms may be produced faster and applications for benefits such as Practical Training may be approved more quickly. Visas may be granted without the usual long delays. However, the additional security and background checks in place at many consulates overseas may delay some visa applications up to 2-3 months. What should students do to prepare for SEVIS?

Be proactive. Students should plan their course sch
