The email below was sent to all UWM international students.
Dear students,
I want to share with you the following statement from UWM:
SEVIS records restored
UWM can confirm that as of Monday, April 28, all 13 of its international students and recent graduates whose statuses were terminated in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) have been returned to active status.
The reversals mean they may continue their studies at UWM or post-graduation optional practical training program (OPT). UWM’s Center for International Education has notified the students and graduates of the change to their records and will continue to provide information, resources and support. Neither UWM, nor the students, were given an explanation for the initial or recent changes in status.
UWM remains committed to supporting our international students and graduates and is grateful to everyone who helped assist our students.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please email isss@uwm.edu or call 414-229-4846 to make an appointment with an immigration coordinator.
All the best,
Kevin Beisser
Director, International Student and Scholar Services
Center for International Education
