SEVIS II Developments

From July 24 to 25, 2007, SEVP continued its outreach to the user community by sponsoring a two-day workshop for stakeholders to review and prioritize SEVIS II functional requirements previously identified by the SEVIS user community.

SEVP invited a diverse group of stakeholders to the workshop, including university technical staff, private contractors who provide batch interface programs to users and end-users within the academic community including those from community colleges, public and private universities and schools with large and small international student/scholar populations, most of whom were from the Washington D.C. area.

From August 6 to 8, 2007, SEVP conducted a supplementary SEVIS II Requirements Workshop for the SEVIS Government and Law Enforcement stakeholders at the Washington Court Hotel. The workshop focused on the review and prioritization of SEVIS II functional requirements and aided the SEVP/OCIO Integrated Product Team (IPT) to finalize the functional requirements document, which was necessary to build the SEVIS business case. The primary objective of the workshop ensured the development of a system that accurately fulfills the academic and national security needs of the United States.

One of the goals of the meeting was to find out what the SEVIS Government and Law Enforcement stakeholders wanted to utilize based on necessities and feasibilities with the current system and with the future system.

Topics of the meeting included Data Entry, Data Integrity, Data Management, Event Driven Status, Identification Methods, Interoperability, Lifecycle/Activity History and Security.
