Transfer out is the immigration process that occurs when you transfer to a new school within the U.S.
When you transfer to a new school within the U.S., WT must transfer your SEVIS record to your new school. This allows you to have the same SEVIS ID Number and the same visa stamp.
Transfer Out requests must be made at least 15 business days (3 weeks) before the start date of your new program at your new school.
If you have graduated from WT or the program end date on your I-20 has expired, per federal regulation, you have 60 days to be admitted into a new program AND have your SEVIS record transferred to the new school.
Transfer Out requests must be made at least 15 business days (3 weeks) before the start date of your new program at your new school.
Important: As soon as your SEVIS record is transferred to your new school, your OPT is no longer valid and you must stop working immediately. Please keep that in mind when choosing a SEVIS release date
