。。。For purposes of fraud prevention, as well as privacy and paperwork reduction concerns, SEVIS will allow a student’s record to be available only to one school at a time. Once the student decides which school he or she intends to transfer, the DSO of his or her current school will update SEVIS to reflect this choice and will enter the release date for the student. The student’s name will then appear in SEVIS at the transfer school as an ‘‘alert’’ containing the student’s name and release date. When the release date is reached, the transfer school will be able to issue the transferring student a
new SEVIS Form I–20. In most cases,schools will be not be sending the
acceptance letter and the SEVIS Form I–20 at the same time. If the student changes his or her mind prior to the release date, the DSO at the current school may cancel the transfer request.
If the transfer request is cancelled the student may continue studies at the current school or make a new request to be transferred to another school. However, once the release date has been reached, the DSO at the current school may no longer access the student’s record in SEVIS. Therefore, a student who changes his or her mind after the
release date must work with the DSO of the transfer school to accomplish a second transfer to another Serviceapproved school. In such cases, the DSO of the transfer school must complete the transfer process for the student in SEVIS and then initiate any subsequent
transfer that the student may request.
