Week 3 (Day 15-21): "Start legal identity setup"
If student: confirm SEVIS activation + school check-in completed
If you're on a student visa, your school must 'activate' your SEVIS record within 30 days or your visa could be cancelled. Upload your visa and I-94 to your school's portal. Make sure your DSO marks your record as 'Active.' Don't assume it's done—double-check with the international office.
If you are here on a student visa, your school must "activate" your record. This tells the government you have arrived and are going to class.
- Most schools have an online portal where you upload your visa and I-94.
- Your school official (DSO) must mark your record as "Active." If they do not do this within 30 days, your visa could be cancelled. Always double-check with your school’s international office.
