What is the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)?
Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) acts as the bridge for varied government organizations which have an interest in information on foreign students. SEVP uses web-based technology, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to track and monitor schools and programs, students, exchange visitors and their dependents throughout the duration of approved participation within the U.S. education system.

SEVP collects, maintains and provides the information so that only legitimate foreign students or exchange visitors gain entry to the United States. The result is an easily accessible information system that provides timely information to the Department of State, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

SEVIS Fee requirements
On September 1, 2004, the Department of Homeland Security implemented the SEVIS fee for any student seeking an I-20 after that date. The fee is $100 and no visa will be issued until the student has paid the fee and has shown the embassy official a receipt. Students who are changing status to M-1 or are applying for reinstatement will be subject to the SEVIS fee as well. See http://www.fmjfee.com for more details.

M-1 students at The National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) must be full time each semester. Full time requirements are as follows:
