Overview

This KB reviews the process of completing the Admin Only Action of Cancel. These actions are only for ISSS Admin to see and each action contains a specific SEVIS Action. This will show in the Completed Card on the Request Tab as well as in the History Log for each student.

In the header of a J-1 Student’s record, we will see a SEVIS Actions button with a drop-down menu. The dropdown will contain: Amend Program, Cancel, Shorten Program, and Terminate.

Cancel

This is done when a SEVIS record is in INITIAL SEVIS status. Situations where this would be used include:

• a duplicate DS-2019 has been issued (the duplicate will remain in SEVIS with a status of Invalid)
• you know the EV is not coming to your program
• you know the EV has used fraudulent documents to obtain the DS-2019

Step 1:

When Cancel is selected from the SEVIS Actions button on the EV’s profile page, the ISSS Admin is redirected to the EV’s SEVIS record, on the Cancel EV screen from the SEVIS Actions menu.

Step 2:

Enter the needed information and select to Cancel EV.

Step 3:

The cancellation will be reflected in the Completed Requests card on the EV’s Request tab.

The cancellation will also be reflected in the student’s History Log.
