Back SEVIS Information (For J-1 Students) SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) has been introduced by the U.S. government to keep track of all J-1 participants. It is very important that all J-1 program participants check in for their program with United Work and Travel, A Division of American Pool Enterprises, Inc. within 72 hours of arrival by going online to www.myuwt.com or by calling the office toll free: 1-866-IGO2USA (446-2872) or 410-581-7788. IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER WITH SEVIS, YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR LEGAL J-1 STATUS AND SUBJECT TO PROGRAM TERMINATION! !
