4-Oregon Daily Emerald WORLDWIDE
SEVIS
continued from page 1
Ginny Stark said the department
wants students to get the new
immigration documents by the
end of spring term because some
may be traveling over the sum
mer. In addition, there are about
1,400 international students at
the University, all of whom may
require the new paperwork.
“Because of the volume and
amount of work we have to do, we
want to do it promptly,” Stark said.
International students on F-l
visas are required to get new SEVIS
1-20 forms, while international vis
iting scholars with J-l visas will be
issued a new DS-2019 form (for
merly called the IAP66).
According to OIP’s SEVIS Coor
dinator Peter Eberhardt, the new
forms have a barcode with a
unique number assigned to each
student. Each time students seek
American visas or enter or leave
the country, the barcode will be
scanned, bringing up the students’
information, including whether
they have legal status.
Stark said the government felt
compelled to introduce the new
system for security reasons and be
cause the old INS system had diffi
culties in keeping track of students.
“From a government perspective,
it will be a uniform system of veri
fying legal status of students and
scholars,” she said.
Stark and Eberhardt added SE
VIS also will require information
that the INS did not previously re
quire. For instance, students and
scholars will now have to give
physical home addresses instead
of just P.O. boxes, and J-l visa de
pendents also may need to state
their city of birth.
For the sessions, students are
required to bring all previous 1-20
or IAP66 documents, passports, I
94 cards, transcripts and verifica
tion of GTF appointments or
scholarship awards for the next
school year. Graduating students
who will still be in the country af
ter Aug. 1 also are required to at
tend the session.
“Our office is doing what we
can,” said Eberhardt. “We can only
do that with the cooperation of the
students.” He said the sessions
were mandatory.
Stark reiterated the importance
of the sessions.
“Anybody who will be here who
is not entered into SEVIS by August
is out of legal status,” she said. “It is
very difficult now to be reinstated
to legal status by BCIS.”
Students who fail to attend will
be restricted from registering for
fall term.
Eberhardt said one of the chal
lenges of the system was its new
ness, and it remains to be seen how
effective it will be.
“Our work will directly affect
the well-being and continued sta
tus of these 1,400 students,” he
said. “We really want our work to
be transparent.”
Junior Paul Manokore, a stu
dent from Zimbabwe, said he has
heard SEVIS may make things
easier for international students
by reducing some of the problems
they face in obtaining and renew
ing American visas.
“I can’t determine yet whether
it’s a good thing or bad thing be
cause it is still being implemented,”
he said.

Luau

Luau Coordinator Brittany Valdez
said the event will be a positive ex
perience for members of other Uni
versity student groups because it is
good to know about different cul
tures, even if someone was not bom
in America.
“It gives our club a chance to show
what our culture is about,” Valdez
said. “It’s more than beaches.”
Chee said club members’ fami
lies are sending traditional foods,
clothing and handmade crafts from
the Hawaiian Islands for the luau.
