The Influence of SEVIS on International Students in the U.S.

The study explores the impact of SEVIS and F-1 visa policies on international graduate students in science and engineering in the U.S. since 2001. It highlights how increased scrutiny and monitoring have altered university operations and the experiences of international students, often negatively affecting their status and understanding of the system. In response, universities have enhanced support services to help these students navigate compliance and improve their social and academic experiences while studying in the U.S.
