Reinstatement

If your SEVIS record has been terminated for any of the above reasons, you can apply for reinstatement if you:

• Have not been out of status for more than 5 months or demonstrate that the failure to file within the 5-month period was the result of exceptional circumstances.
• Have not engaged in unauthorized employment, and
• Are not deportable on any grounds.

Please consult with the International Programs and Services Office for reinstatement application procedures.
