[top] A7: FSIS is required to provide orientation for UH exchange visitors. Orientation/registration appointments are necessary for us to effectively convey important information on immigration requirements to exchange visitors and their dependents. After the appointment is finished, we are then required to validate the exchange visitor’s program in SEVIS. This cannot be done unless we have registered the exchange visitor. If the person’s program is not validated in SEVIS on time, his/her status will automatically change to “No Show” and he/she may lose his/her legal status in the U.S.
