A US university grade error has pushed an F-1 visa student into a serious legal crisis. The student failed to graduate in December 2025 after a promised grade change never reflected in records. This F-1 visa SEVIS issue now threatens their legal stay in the US.
F-1 Visa SEVIS Issue After Grade Change Failure
The professor assured the student that the grade would be updated before the semester ended. Later, the professor stopped responding and did not appear on campus. As a result, the student did not complete graduation requirements in December 2025.
DSO Monitoring Raises Risk of SEVIS Revocation
The Spring term began on January 12, but the student did not enrol in any classes, expecting graduation. DSOs monitor full-time enrolment closely. If you stay unenrolled, your SEVIS record faces immediate revocation.
I-20 Expiry Can Lead to Deportation
When a course is not completed on time, the I-20 must be extended or reissued. After expiry, you get 60 days to extend or transfer. Failure leads to loss of status, possible ICE action, detention, and deportation from the US.
