All students in F-1 and J-1 status must maintain the following in their SEVIS record:
- Current U.S. Address
- Foreign Address
- U.S. Phone Number (if you have one)
OISS reports this information to SEVIS, but you must first update the information in YaleHub.
Any change in your addresses or phone number must be reported in YaleHub within 10 days of the change.
For more information, see the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA § 265, 8 U.S.C. 1305). If you have any questions about updating your address, please contact your OISS adviser.
