About the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)

SEVIS is the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. It is a national database, mandated by the U.S. government, that stores current information on non-immigrant students (F-1 and M-1 visas), exchange visitors (J-1 visas), and their dependents (F-2, M-2, and J-2 visas). SEVIS enables schools and program sponsors to electronically transmit information to both U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of State.

Information needed for SEVIS Form I-901

1. From your Form I-20 or DS-2019:

  • SEVIS number
  • Form I-20: School Code for UNO is "OMA 214F 00183000"
  • Form DS-2019: Program Number is "P-1-04037"

2. The address where the payment receipt should be sent. When using a courier service, the address cannot be a post office box (P.O. Box). It must be a physical address.
