• On March 23, 2018, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) will launch the SEVP Portal. The portal is a tool that F-1 or M-1 students on post-completion optional practical training(OPT) or science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) OPT can choose to use to report changes to their home address, telephone number and employer information. As a student on post-completion OPT, you will be eligible to use the portal. The portalis accessible from both your mobile device and computer.  You will receive an email with instructions on creating a portal account. This email will come from do-not-reply.sevp@ice.dhs.gov.If you do not see the email, check your spam or junk mail folder. If you still do not see it, contact me to have the email sent again.  It is imperative to have an accurate email address registered in SEVIS in order to receive this information.  If you areunsure about what email address you have registered in SEVIS, please send the correct email address to iso@cbts.edu with your name andSEVIS ID. The SEVP Portal will allow you to:
