S4 Q&A: Should I transfer my SEVIS record early, before a new rule takes effect?

 Don’t move your record to beat a rule: once it moves, you have to complete enrollment at the new school, and rules can be blocked, delayed or changed. Request the release only when your deposit is paid, your financial documents are accepted and your consultant has confirmed the date. If a rule worries you, ask us for our latest dated update first.
