DHS/USICE RIN: 1653-AA44 Publication ID: Fall 2010 
Title: Clarification of Eligibility Criteria for F and M Students and for Schools Certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program To Enroll F and/or M Students 
Abstract: This proposed rule will clarify the criteria for nonimmigrant academic and/or professional and vocational students and exchange visitors (J status) to maintain nonimmigrant status. In addition, the regulation will clarify the criteria for the schools certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to enroll students and to fulfill their associated recordkeeping, retention, and reporting requirements to SEVP in F or M classification. The regulation will also codify refinements in policy and procedures that have evolved since the last major regulatory update in 2002 and since the establishment of SEVP more than six years ago, and remove obsolete provisions in the regulations used before and during implementation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). Finally, the regulation will incorporate language supporting a major reprogramming of SEVIS, known as SEVIS II.
