SUBJECT: REMINDER
 
Congratulations to all Spring 05 graduates!
 
Please read this reminder and act on the item that applies to you.
 
1.	ALL international students must report your new address to the ISO
within 10 days of the change. You must report your change of address
directly to the ISO so we can update it in SEVIS. You can report and make
request online at
http://www7.tamu-commerce.edu/international/Fall_2004/Forms/request_form.asp
<http://www7.tamu-commerce.edu/international/Fall_2004/Forms/request_form.as
p> 
Reporting in the WEBTRAX alone is not enough because it does not get to
SEVIS.
      
2.	Check the expiration date on your most current I-20 (#5 on page 1),
if you have not applied for OPT or have not completed the course of studies
but your I-20  
      expires on May 31, 2005, you must make an appointment with the ISA to
extend your I-20 by May 27, 2005. You must provide a new bank statement in
the  
      amount of $8000 for one semester extension, and $15500 for two
semester extension. Failure to extend the I-20 before the deadline will
result in out-of-status.
 
3.	Students who are returning and have been admitted for another degree
beginning Summer I&II and Fall 05 must contact the ISA and make an
appointment for a 
            brief orientation and a new I-20 for a new degree. This process
must be done within 60 days grace period from the last day of your last
semester or last day of 
            your OPT. SEVIS will terminate you automatically after 60 days
grace period if updating has not been done in time. If you are terminated by
SEVIS, you are    
            automatically put out-of-status and you will require
reinstatement before you can continue your studies.
 
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!! Stay safe and cool !!
