Change of Status

Changing Status from F-1

1. Provide proof of approved change of status to the Kearney Internatioanl Center. USCIS will provide receipts usually on a form I-797 Notice of Action/Approval. ISSS can enter that information in the SEVIS system to update your record which may prevent travel issues in the future.

a. If remaining as a student or returning to MSU as a student, please complete the additional forms from the Registrar's Office: Residency for Tuition and International Student Non-Immigrant/Immigrant Intent. Your SEVIS record will end but your MSU record will reflect your new status.

b. If leaving MSU and not returning, your SEVIS record will end with the change of status information.

2. Health insurance refund. Once the change of status is approved, you may request a refund if you paid in advance for a year of insurance and you will not require insurance for the next semester.
