Dear reader,

As of this morning, we have learned of five current UW students and four recent alumni across the three UW campuses who have had their F-1 visa and SEVIS record cancelled by the federal government without prior notice to the University or the students. The University and ISS are deeply concerned about the well-being of these students and alumni and are working to support them. We know this news is upsetting and causes concern. I want to assure you that our priority is supporting F-1 and J-1 students.

Please read through my latest update on the situation to learn more information including what steps you should take to ensure you are maintaining your immigration status.

Most sincerely,
Kim Lovaas
Director of International Student Services
