ISSS Classic: J Exchange Visitor Action > Dependent > End Status Follow

This article describes how to remove a dependent J-2 SEVIS record from an initial status principal J-1 SEVIS record. The SEVIS term for this action is "end status."

This action is not possible on a SEVIS-Active record. The SEVIS action, in that case, would be "terminate dependent."

This action is completed from the principal J-1 SEVIS Profile in Terra Dotta, using the existing Add New Dependent record associated with the J-2 dependent profile.

 

 

Step 1: Locate the Principal Profile to Access the Principal SEVIS Profile

  1. Search for the Principal EV Profile by Name or other criteria under Records > Search.
  2. Click any existing program (for example, Academic Objective (J)) to access the Principal EV profile.
  3. You must create the SEVIS Update Record to Dependent: End Status from the Principal EV SEVIS Profile. Click the SEVIS profile button of the Principal EV record.

 

Step 2: Access the SEVIS Profile

Create the SEVIS Update Record to Dependent: End Status from the Principal EV SEVIS Profile.  Click the SEVIS profile button of the Principal EV record.

 

 

Step 3: Create SEVIS update Record

See the KB SEVIS Admin: Creating a SEVIS Update Record for detailed instructions about this step. 

In the principal EV's SEVIS profile, click the New SEVIS update record. 

Selecting Dependent: End Status will associate the End Status  Dependent record to the SEVIS Update record of the Principal EV. When you select Dependent: End Status from the dropdown menu, a second window displays. Select the Add New Dependent (J) Request record from the list of options, then select Add.

If all SEVIS-required information is present in both the dependent profile and the Add New Dependent record, the update record will be successfully verified.

Click Update to create the SEVIS update record. 

 

 

Step 4: Assign the SEVIS Update to a Batch

After you have created a SEVIS update record, you may add it to a batch to be sent to SEVIS for processing. Go to Pending Updates to assign your update to a batch.

For more information on this process, see SEVIS Admin: Assigning a SEVIS Update to a Batch.
