SEVIS on Egyptian Students with Expiring Passports

"The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires an F, M and J nonimmigrant who petitions for benefits to submit evidence of a valid passport, as defined on the applicable form, at the time of petition. Because of the sensitive situation in Egypt, the processing period to renew passports has increased. This broadcast message provides guidance to designated school officials to inform Egyptian students of these processing times."  SEVIS Broadcast Message 1102-01, Mar. 30, 2011.
