SEVIS announces closure of SEVP portal accounts after OPT ends

SEVIS announced that beginning in October 2019 it will close student SEVP portal accounts six months after the student's OPT end date.  Students will receive an email 5 months after the OPT end date notifying them of the closure, and a second email will be sent to the student on the day the access ends.  

The DHS Study in the States website contains additional details on the closure of the SEVP portal accounts.
