Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)

SEVP participants, spouses and dependents (F, J, or M Visa who receive taxable scholarship, fellowship or grants reportable by the school on Form W-2 OR 1042-S) may apply using a streamlined process, through SEVP approved institutions, which include many universities and colleges.

A certification letter, in lieu of submitting original or certified documents, must be prepared by the SEVP institution and must meet specifications.

The Form W-7 application must be submitted to the Austin ITIN Operation by a SEVIS official (i.e., DSO, RO, etc.) with the certification letter, copy of identity and foreign status documents, copy of DS-2019 - Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor Status (J-1 Status), copy of I-20 - Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Status.

* The SEVP Streamlined Process is subject to change.

Additional guidance for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-approved institutions can be found in the Instructions for Form W-7.
