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 continued from page 1 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.
