After the admin has reviewed and confirmed the SEVIS ID, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Confirm that the Dependent Profile is linked to the Principal Profile

If the dependent profile is not linked to the principal profile, the record will appear as below:

To link the dependent and principal profiles, click the (add principal profile) link, highlighted above. Then search for and select the appropriate principal profile:
